Scott Adams is the creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip. He is a fierce supporter of President Donald Trump. However, Adams says he felt 'abused' after Trump failed to condemn white supremacists at the first presidential debate. He told the Proud Boys, a known hate group, to "stand back and stand by." Adams said he'd vote for Trump if the president corrects his mistakes and denounces white supremacy.
