Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is attending Donald Trump’s “hush money” criminal trial in New York today, made a not-so-veiled reference to the Proud Boys in a social media post supporting Trump, Politico reports.
Wrote Gaetz: “Standing back and standing by, Mr. President.”
New York Times: “That’s an echo of the call to the far-right extremist group that Trump made during a debate against President Biden in September 2020. Trump’s words were used as a part of the evidence that resulted in several Proud Boys, including their former leader, Enrique Tarrio, being convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.”
