Enrique Tarrio, the now-former leader of the extremist Proud Boys gang who was just granted clemency by President Donald Trump, celebrated his release from prison on Tuesday by calling into conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ show and calling for retribution.
Up until this week, Tarrio was serving a 22-year prison term after being convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in organizing the January 6 Capitol attack. The far-right streetfighter’s sentence was the longest among the nearly 1,600 people who were charged in connection with the insurrection, which was ignited by Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
