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.”

Oh, I already hate.

I hate these fucking cocksuckers (proud boys) and hope they all burn.

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 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

I hate all these fascist shit-wits, that's for sure.

Now vice had its problems, but how the fuck was this goon one of the co-founders?

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?

He stuck a dildo up his ass and realized he might be gay?

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.

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.

“Stand by, stand back” or whatever Trump said on national tv to them.

I have heard that this guy has small balls, a really tiny penis and enjoys the company of “boys”

Don't disparage pedophiles by association. They're altogether vile and unfathomably sick in the head, but this fuck-smear? Far worse

I had a dream last night that Robespierre came out of the shadows and won the election. I'm not sure it was a nightmare.
