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.”

      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.

      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.

        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.

        Honest question: is it physically possibly to step on one’s own nutsack? Do I have to dislocate my pelvis or something?

          I find if you use a pair of scissors to remove the nutsack first, then stepping in it becomes a lot easier.

          Unfortunately, I can confirm that it is possible because you can’t actually bleach something like that from your brain once you see it. Really it was just the skin that he’d stretched way out but still.
