The Proud Boys Have Regrouped

By Leave a Comment

“Members of the Proud Boys, key instigators in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, are mobilizing in support of Donald Trump—and in some cases, making threats about the presidential election,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“While it isn’t clear what the far-right group is planning or how coordinated its plans are, many chapters are amplifying election-cheating claims made by Trump or his allies and discussing potential responses, according to a review by The Wall Street Journal of dozens of accounts on Telegram, the messaging app, and Trump’s Truth Social platform.”

“Chapters have gathered across state lines, talked about watching polls and have been boasting about attending Trump rallies to protect the former president.”
