Guilty verdicts for seditious conspiracy were handed down to key members of the Proud Boys for actions related to the Capitol insurrection—marking a significant milestone in the struggle against far-right extremism. from jacksontkatz:
Attorney General Merrick Garland, with Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and FBI Director Christopher Wray , speaks on the Proud Boys conspiracy trial on May 4, 2023. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl were found guilty of seditious conspiracy. Fellow member Dominic Pezzola was found guilty of other charges, including obstructing a proceeding of Congress and destruction of government property.
They have also adjusted their strategy. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, head of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab at American University,the Proud Boys have evolved as an organization. “They’re just now moving into other types of protests. So they’ve been protesting at children’s readings, drag readings and libraries, and protesting anti-racist education, and just kind of opportunistically jumping on other types of protests that are happening across the country.
McInnes, who is no longer the group’s official leader but whose influence continues behind the scenes, has a long history of anti-woman statements. He sometimes makes such comments with a nod and a wink, which gives him a kind of plausible deniability—like a comedian who insists that “it’s just a joke” when his humor doesn’t land well.
Campbell wrote: “The Proud Boys bring in aggressive energy wherever they go that could turn grandma’s bingo night into the Thunderdome within minutes. Getting regular people to go along with violence is one of the many sobering characteristics of the Trump era that the Proud Boys helped to normalize.”
