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.

      Imagine how angry this guy must be - he’s essentially a white supremacist, and yet, every white supremacist, no matter who they are, still thinks they are default better than him…

      I mean, you also have to be a very special kind of stupid to have a name like Enrique Tarrio and run around with the redcaps.

      I cannot imagine what that level of cognitive dissonance must be like…

    Everyone in the comments talking about him just getting a 2nd pardon, you’re assuming the charges stick.
