The former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday for his part in the failed plot to keep Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election.
The longest sentence previously handed down was 18 years, to both Ethan Nordean, a member of the Proud Boys, and Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers militia.
In May, Tarrio and three lieutenants were convicted of charges including seditious conspiracy, a civil-war-era offense previously rarely brought but now levied against members of far-right groups that took part in the January 6 attack.
“What happened on January 6 was a national embarrassment,” Tarrio said, adding that he both now knew Trump lost to Joe Biden and blamed himself for actions that led to him losing his freedom.
The case was one of the most significant prosecutions in the federal investigation of the attack on Congress, which saw supporters of Trump shock the world with their attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
Before members of the Proud Boys joined thousands in storming the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify Biden’s victory, Tarrio was arrested and ordered to leave Washington.
What would news even look like at that point, he will have missed the civil war so it will probably be some kid on a street corner telling here ye, here ye and waving a bell.

So at a minimum this dude is doing 17.5 years.
I wonder if the day he is released (2041 at the earliest) he will even have a passing mention in the news.
I sure hope not. Piece of shit nobody deserves his time away from society and doesn’t need any more spotlight when released.
What would news even look like at that point, he will have missed the civil war so it will probably be some kid on a street corner telling here ye, here ye and waving a bell.
He pleaded with the judge, Timothy Kelly, for leniency. “Please show me mercy,” Tarrio said. “I ask you that you not take my 40s from me.”
Weak…!!!
What an absolute loser.
Hmm, counterpoint, I ask that he not try to take democracy from me?
22 years to own the libs, lmfao
