Wikipedia hilariously labels Enrique Tarrio “a convicted American seditionist and far-right activist” and calls the Proud Boys, which he led from 2018 to 2021, “ a neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence…”
Why is this hilarious? Just compare it with how Wikipedia describes Black Lives Matter, a truly seditious group with openly communist aims. Wikipedia describes BLM as
[A] decentralized political and social movement that aims to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people and to promote anti-racism… Despite being characterized by opponents as violent the overwhelming majority of BLM demonstrations have been peaceful.
In fact, BLM-led or inspired riots led to at least 26 deaths.
Right. The contrast is simply astonishing, but that’s what happens when the legacy media speak.
In fact, my short interaction with Enrique Tarrio revealed a thoughtful, temperate man who found himself on Radio Row at CPAC 2025 surrounded by numerous news cameras and reporters, many of whom were asking questions. He took a few minutes to talk with me (see video below).
My first question was, “Do you think J6 was a setup?” (Full disclosure: my latest book, Manufactured Crisis, includes a chapter titled J6 Was Not an Insurrection, where I argue that the available facts indisputably prove that it was a setup.) You can watch his response in the accompanying video.

J6 and the show trials were all part of the weaponization of government against conservatives.
The Left has J-6 framed as an insurrection and the whole house of cards turns on this pushing this narrative and continued vilification of the participants. Worse yet some conservatives are too dumb to understand otherwise. That’s why there was an initial fluff up at CPAC over J-6 that didn’t correct itself until the public outcry. Yes, it was a quick turnabout but it was revealing nonetheless. To change the subject to Ukraine for one moment, note the similar backpedaling now taking place on the Russia, Russia, Russia bogieman narrative among Republicans. Some Republicans just have a hard time locating their spine.
