Moments ago, a judge sentenced Enrique Tarrio to 22 years for his involvement in the January 6, 2021 failed attempted coup and take-over of the U.S. Government.
Tarrio was arrested on January 4th for defacing a Black Lives Matter banner and was ordered to leave Washington, D.C. Even though Tarrio was not present in Washington D.C. on January 6th, the former Chairman of the Proud Boys was found guilty of seditious conspiracy and received the stiffest penalty of all those found guilty of attempting to overturn the 2020 elections results in favor of former President Donald J. Trump.
On January 6th, 2021 Tarrio posted on social media, “Do what must be done,” as the Proud Boys stormed the U.S. Capitol Building. However, Tarrio changed his tune earlier today as he stood before the judge and said, “I am not a political zealot. Inflicting harm of changing the results of the election was not my goal.”
Tarrio’s sentencing comes just one day before the judge in Georgia plans to set the schedule in the Trump election interference case.
