Despite the bluster last year from the far-right group Proud Boys about how a U.S.-backed war in Iran would kill their support for President Donald Trump, lo and behold, it appears it hasn’t. At least not for the group’s leader.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in plotting the Jan. 6 attack of the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 22 years in prison before Trump pardoned him last year, shared on X Sunday that he “fully” supports the U.S.-Israel bombing campaign in Iran.
“I think it was the correct move,” Tarrio wrote.
But he had a caveat.
“That doesn’t mean I support Israel’s efforts to use us as a schoolhouse bully calling us every time they have an issue. We must ALWAYS put our interests first,” he wrote.
