Summary

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for allegedly assaulting a protester by striking her phone and arm.

Tarrio had just left a press conference alongside other far-right figures pardoned by Donald Trump for their roles in the January 6 attack.

Tarrio was previously serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy before Trump’s mass clemency.

A recent poll shows most Americans disapprove of pardoning Capitol rioters. Tarrio’s attorney has not yet commented on the new charges.

    They just can’t help themselves. They just have to be violent assholes and prove their inferiority to everyone else whenever they have the chance.

      That only works until they find a leftist who is armed and fed up with their shit. Then they take the pine box challenge.
