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.”

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Wait, did he lube it first? Or shove it in dry?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

Which I'd respect if he was honest about it. I don't think he's capable of being honest with himself, much less anyone else.

I hate him, does that count?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago

They got frightened when people reacted poorly to cops killing people again and again and again ...

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago

They have no qualms about lying to further their agenda. Many of the people leading these movements aren't unintelligent, but rather immoral.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day 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:

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?

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!

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.

He's kind of given out the secret to defeating MAGA. Pity them, don't hate them. Challenge them, don't lower yourself to their level. Beat them at the polls, not with a pole.

The MAGA nuts are victims of the MAGA movement too. They've literally been tricked by a failed casino owner nepo baby into thinking that he and other rich people are gonna save the country, share the wealth and fix their sex lives.

I can't back up that last part, but I feel like it's implied by all the incel and anti woman shit they keep drumming up. Coincidentally they really are obsessed with penises which I'm sure says something about them I'm not qualified to determine.

this guy should have been taken out so long ago. instead we just make jokes. pathetic.

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

Let him die a traditional neonazi death

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 15 points 2 days ago

Padme: "So they are leaving the group?"

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Oh, I already hate.

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

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.
