Zach Rehl, leader of the Philadelphia Proud Boys, making the OK gesture in November 2020

He's doing it like that.

The association of the gesture with white supremacy derived from the assertion that the three upheld fingers resemble a W and the circle made with the thumb and forefinger resemble the head of a P, together standing for "White Power". While some members of the alt-right started using the symbol after the launch of the 4chan campaign, it initially remained ambiguous whether or not it was being used to communicate genuine adherence to white supremacy, or with deliberately ironic motives.

    I's trying to be funny in my previous comment, but re-reading it I think I completely missed the mark. Sorry, I've deleted it.
