Proud Boys Vow To Increase Presence At Trump Rallies

The Daily Beast reports:



Leaders of the far-right Proud Boys group say their members will make frequent appearances at Donald Trump’s future campaign rallies, after videos of Proud Boys marching in uniform outside Trump’s Orlando campaign kickoff went viral.

“Our numbers have grown, so you’ll probably see more of us,” Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio told The Daily Beast. Dozens of Proud Boys and their associates tried to reach anti-Trump protests in Orlando on Tuesday, but were stopped by an impromptu barricade set up by police.

Although the Proud Boys were founded during the 2016 presidential race, they started gaining attention through clashes at political events in 2017—and through bizarre masturbation strictures, which limited Proud Boys to masturbating once a month.
