Far-right figure blames ‘corrupt leftwing media’ for January 6 attack on US Capitol in new Trump documentary
The founder of the Proud Boys, the far-right group that played a major role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol and was memorably instructed by Donald Trump to “stand back and stand by”, has told the makers of a Trump documentary: “We want to make America hate again.”
Gavin McInnes, the UK-born British Canadian citizen who co-founded Vice magazine and was influential in the New York hipster scene of the early 2000s before becoming a far-right militia figure, also claimed to the BBC that his group wasn’t responsible for what happened that day.
“It was you,” he told the makers of the documentary, which has aired on the BBC’s Panorama strand. “If anyone should apologise … it should be the corrupt leftwing media, and I’ll accept your apology now if you want to do it.”
Thank you for bringing this up. Anytime this fuckwit is allowed back in the public eye, this should be right at the top to help invalidate the shit he spews.
Didn't he also eat cereal with pee instead of milk and take a picture of himself stepping on his own nutsack? I feel like this dude is just forcing his gross fetishes on people left and right.
I've taken to believing conservatives live in a shadow realm, separate from reality. There, they are scared by their own delusions and exist detached from the real world.
UK born British-Canadian citizen? So another far right anti-immigrant immigrant, coming to the US to stir up shit? When will we deport this clown and Phony Stark?
That's one area I'm proud of Australia for. We frequently deny travel for problematic people - most recently Candace Owens was denied entry. Most likely for saying that Australia should be invaded, but she's said a lot of horrible stuff so who can tell!
We do have our share of anti-immigrant immigrants though.
Jack van Tongeren comes to mind. A Dutch migrant that hated asians. He set fire to a bunch of Asian restaurants. There was something of a political movement IIRC, they wanted to send asian migrants back to where they came from (?!) and relocate Australia's Capital City to Alice Springs because it was geographically central.
The reactions from people when I declare without hesitation or questioning, that I do not believe in universal free speech in America. "But who decides what is policed??" The reasonable people I vote for that represent my interests do.
Nah, you're supposed to take them seriously and give them various platforms to speak on and beat them with FACTS and LOGIC because that's what's needed for a marketplace of ideas and functioning democracy.
In other unrelated news, fascism is now rising tremendously in the world.
facts and logic are wasted on morons. silence them forever and make sure that the next idiot knows what they have coming if they open their stupid mouth.
No! I would love to see him actually...on my phone while resting on my warm bed. I would love to see him while traversing the vast artic ice cap on foot with no shoes or other clothes other than his underwear. You know, being superior to me and proud since he can do that and I cannot. I admit my inferiority in this area.
Another such Netflix special would be a SpaceX adventure into the sun. He can wear anything he wants for this one. So long as the proper telescope satellite is viewing how superior he is over all of us, I would be so very satisfied with all my inferior fellows down here far from the superior vastness of the universe. I mean sure, he could also go to Mars where he can be superior too. But I don't have all day man, I gotta do some work. Maybe Mars with no helmet?
The British-Canadian Hipster found of Vice became the leader of an anti-immigrant white nationalist group in the United States? Weird character arc. Anyone have any insight?
I love that he called his little gang ‘The Proud Boys’. It makes think of him and his little buddies all sitting around playing video games, proudly shitting in their pants, with big smiles on their happy faces.
You should look up 'proud flesh' on horses(warning, its a graphic skin condition). It's what I think of everytime I see proud boys, except somehow they're more disgusting.
Conflating culture with skin color is so strange. McInnes has way more culturally in common with the Taliban than he does with any white representative of liberal values. Idiot.
Several individually coordinated crimes and violent lyrics got the ICP a gang designation.
This motherfucker has had centrally planned riots and an attempted insurrection, has a jumping in process, has perpetrated stochastic terrorism campaigns, and is still invited to speak at public and campaign events.
I can't take them seriously after learning where their name came from. Which is a discarded song from Disney's "Aladdin" that was later revived for the stage musical. Yes, really.
This toolbag again? He moved to a town not too far from me and people started putting up "Hate has no home here" signs on their lawn, and he threw a fit. What a crybaby. Like if you're going to be a bigot, you should probably have thicker skin. Dude has the spine of a jellyfish.
you mean you want to get rich off these people and you probably don't care left or right you just find people who are easiest to manipulate, are likely in some sort of identity crisis and will act like fanatics for you
He's kind of given out the secret to defeating MAGA. Pity them, don't hate them. Challenge them, don't lower yourself to their level. Beat them at the polls, not with a pole.
The MAGA nuts are victims of the MAGA movement too. They've literally been tricked by a failed casino owner nepo baby into thinking that he and other rich people are gonna save the country, share the wealth and fix their sex lives.
I can't back up that last part, but I feel like it's implied by all the incel and anti woman shit they keep drumming up. Coincidentally they really are obsessed with penises which I'm sure says something about them I'm not qualified to determine.
