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.
You know he actively did it, he’s not the kind of asshole that keeps his hands to himself, as evidenced by, well, everything about him and his history.
It’s not hard to keep your hands to yourself. You just don’t touch. It’s literally one of the first things parents teach kids.
