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.

      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…
