“The Proud Boys have begun to show themselves as not a bumbling, drunken fraternity, but an actual terrorist group.”
One of the Proud Boys facing seditious conspiracy charges, Ethan Nordean, punched a guy unconscious in 2018, and it was caught on video. Alex Jones called it “the Punch Heard Around the World.” Gavin McInnes, the founder of the Proud Boys, called Ethan Nordean their greatest achievement. He was given a nickname, Rufio Panman, a reference to the leader of the Lost Boys in the movie Hook, and nowAdvertisementIn the early coverage of the Proud Boys, there was a desire to see them as silly.
And that is a testament to two things. One, Trump really, really loves people that love him. And the Proud Boys have very publicly and very violently shown time and time again that they are out there for Trump. In fact, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen said prior to Jan. 6 that between that debate and Jan. 6, Trump knew exactly who they were and that he knew exactly what he was saying when he said, “Stand back and stand by.” He was giving them marching orders.
The connections the Proud Boys forged with Trump World ran deep. That was obvious when the Jan. 6 select committee shared a video of Trump adviser Roger Stone reciting the Proud Boys’ “fraternal creed”—saying “I’m a Western Chauvinist. And I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.”In the months since Jan. 6, the connections between the Proud Boys and the GOP have only gotten stronger. It’s a little like the group has metastasized.
