PHILADELPHIA — As Donald Trump yet again tells his supporters he can lose Tuesday only if there's massive voter fraud and as he ramps up violent rhetoric about Democrats and other "enemies," members of the far-right group that put more "boots on the ground" than any other at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, say they're mobilizing.
The last time Trump tried to overturn his election loss, the Proud Boys played a critical role, jumping into action on Jan. 6 just weeks after Trump gave the group a major recruitment boost by telling it to “stand back and stand by” during a presidential debate. The group, which was “thirsting for violence and organizing for action,” sent members to the Capitol to act as “Donald Trump’s army,” federal prosecutors said later. Several Proud Boys leaders were ultimately convicted of seditious conspiracy and are still in prison, including former chairman Enrique Tarrio, who is serving 22 years, the longest sentence given to any Jan. 6 defendant.
But the decentralized all-male far-right group remains active around the country, and some of its members are openly making plans to get involved in Tuesday’s elections, as Trump closes his campaign by talking about shooting through the media; calls his political opponents “evil,” “dangerous” and “the enemy within”; and spreads more baseless predictions of election fraud.At least 30 of the 34 active and public Telegram channels operated by Proud Boys chapters across the country have once again been rallying support for Trump, posting pro-Trump content since the beginning of October, according to an analysis by Advance Democracy, a nonprofit research organization. Many groups are posting memes and content that suggest that the 2024 election will be stolen from Trump.

I’d rather have the proud boys than the black panthers.
Wow...could a “news” article be any more biased than this one?
Translation: The Proud Boys won’t be there. Maybe some Dems in masks.
Typical NBC
Nothing But Crap
That’s right, Ryan. Throw in all the liberal dog whistles that you can - January 6, Trump claiming fraud, Proud Boys, insurrection, alleged threats from conservatives. And this propaganda is on the NBC “news” page.
Fake News, why would they be at polling places?
Aren’t the Proud Boys completely taken over by the FBI at this point?
Foxes guarding the hen house?
or ANTIFA or Black Lives Matter.
✔️
Too bad I voted by mail — I would have enjoyed shaking their hands. Even if they were leftist provocateurs in disguise.
Oh the irony!
NBC whips a news story about ‘proud boys’ on election day and claims the context is about Trump being the one who is upping the “violent rhetoric”.
Just wow
Has Trump not learned anything over the past 4 years. Any comment, no matter how small will be blow up to insurrection.
Proud Boys? Is that the same group that Dementia Joe call the “poor boys?” Are the down on the corner...?
I guess this explains why the National Guard is on standby in so many states with large blue cities.
>> all-male far-right group
“all-male” huh... might that be one of them there “dog whistles” to the feminazis?
Yup. Derpstate false flag instigators. When you graduate from the FBI's "Patriot Front" academy, you get to work as a Proud Boy instigator.
“Violent rhetoric” includes any accurate description of Democrats, such as “evil”, and “enemy”. He should only say words that reflect love and respect, like them.
So the FBI will be at polling stations pretending to be proud boys.
Cool.
Maybe they can accidentally catch someone committing vote fraud.
