Far-right Proud Boys leader arrives at Roger Stone's house to show solidarity with Trump associate
Not recommending the source, but news is news. From The Daily Mail (UK, soon to be non-EU) [dailymail.co.uk]:
The leader of the far-right group Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, visited Roger Stone at his Florida home and wore a t-shirt professing the Trump ally's innocence.
Tarrio, 34, showed up at Stone's Fort Lauderdale house wearing a black t-shirt which reads on the front: ROGER STONE DID NOTHING WRONG!
The image on the back of the shirt shows the face of late President Richard Nixon, Stone's idol. Underneath the photo of Nixon reads: IF I WEREN'T EFFECTIVE YOU WOULDN'T HATE ME.
Hmmm, echoes here, echoes of something equally shallow, . . . "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"?
Tarrio succeeded Gavin McInnes, the co-founder of Vice Media, as the leader of the controversial group.
In November, McInnes announced his resignation from the group after it was learned that FBI officials told local authorities in Clark County, Washington State that the Proud Boys was an 'extremist' organization with 'ties to White Nationalism'.
Proud boys, not "The Few, the Proud, the Boys", that's the Marines.
McInnes quit as leader of the men-only, self-described 'Western chauvinist' group weeks after nine members were arrested by the New York Police Department for their involvement in a brawl with antifa activists on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Yes. Tell us more.
The October 12 brawl took place outside of a club where McInnes was invited to address a group of Republicans.
The willingness of Republicans to invite the leader of a group denounced as a hate organization and 'neo-fascist' also sparked outrage among liberals.
Proud Boys has also been behind numerous acts of political violence across the country, authorities say.
'The FBI has warned local law enforcement agencies that the Proud Boys are actively recruiting in the Pacific north-west,' the FBI said in a November memo.
'Proud Boys members have contributed to the recent escalation of violence at political rallies held on college campuses, and in cities like Charlottesville, Virginia, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.'
Good thing these boys are proud boys, because I don't think anyone else is proud of them, especially their mommas. Even Republican Mommas. Ever notice how all the blonde Trump supporters are childless? Hmmm.
