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.”

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.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

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.

Here's an article on that whole thing:

Did he say that with a butt plug up his ass?

[–] godlessworm@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

dude you don't get it, when he fucked his ass on camera it was to own the libs.

Hey look it's that chud who shoved a dildo up his ass on youtube to prove how unwoke he is......

[–] don@lemm.ee 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ah yes, Gavin “I enjoy practicing anal sex to defeat those degenerate liberals” McInnes has an opinion about something.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

So glad no one forgot that time he fucked himself on cam

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 32 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

rest assured this american hates you gavin

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

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?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 48 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I hate him, does that count?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If this post is any indication, he definitely has succeeded in making America hate him again. If that's what he wanted.

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Gavin, if you're reading this thread, don't worry bb, I never forgot to keep hating you

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 3 points 13 hours ago

I bet that skin condition smells better than the average Proud Boy.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I like it when they grow a spine and tell the truth about what they believe. It makes it easier for the normies to figure it out and leave the group.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 12 hours ago

Padme: "So they are leaving the group?"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I hear he’s sleeping with other proud boy’s’ partners. They should all know that.

Let him die a traditional neonazi death

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

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.

The left are the violent ones. They burnt down this country for 2 straight years.

me looking at all the intact cities, towns, and unincorporated townships that haven't been burnt to the ground for 2 years straight

These assholes literally live on Earth 2, don't they?

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 38 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

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!

Too late. He's yours now. We aren't taking him back.

[–] Mesophar@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Deporting just means we kick him out of our country, you don't have to accept him in yours. A raft in the Atlantic should suit him fine!
