Just a few weeks ago, the right-wing extremist Proud Boys were among Donald Trump's most loyal supporters.
But they got nothing with the pardons - they feel cheated.
Members of the right-wing Proud Boys were present
when the
Capitol was stormed
on January 6th.
They were
loyal
to
Donald Trump
.
But they did not receive pardons for it - and are angry now.
Washington, DC - After
storming the Capitol
,
the terrifying thought
occurred to
Nancy Pelosi
.
The Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives urgently wanted a
second impeachment process
- also to prevent Donald Trump from pardoning parts of a right-wing mob in the last few meters of his presidency.
The very people who had penetrated to the very heart of American democracy and now have to answer for it.
She shouldn't have been afraid.
It is true that Trump triggered a
wave of pardons
in his final hours as president
.
But on this surfed the rich, the corrupt and some from whom
Donald Trump
benefited.
But not the far-right part of the Trump base, which devastated the Capitol on January 6th.
And that despite the fact that several rioters asked him for pardons.
These will now have to face justice.
For many of his followers: this would be a slap in the face.
And for the right-wing extremist group
Proud Boys
, the former role model since the change in power in the White House is one thing: a “complete failure”.
Donald Trump triggered a wave of pardons - but right-wing mob when storming the Capitol is empty
One of the most impressive sights was provided by
Jacob Chansley:
dressed in animal fur, with a spear in his hands and the free upper body full of tattoos, the
QAnon supporter appeared
like a
terrible figure
that Trump had brought to life.
His lawyer called on Trump to "pardon those peaceful followers who had answered the president's call".
Another Capitol invader told the FBI: "We all deserve a pardon." Now it is clear: Donald Trump did not hear her.

Members of the men's group
Proud Boys
are
among those who now have to
answer
after the
storming of the Capitol
.
The fact that the
former US President Donald Trump
did not stand up for them now offends them.
They had assured him of their "undying loyalty" in the fight for the office of US president.
It's over.
Trump is “weak”, a “decoy” and “will go down as a total failure.
“According to the
New York Times
, it was
posted on
the Proud Boys' Telegram channel of the
same name
.
Proud Boys: Right-wing extremist men group angry at Trump - "total flop"
In other chat forums run by
Telegram and Gab
, another platform popular with rights,
Donald Trump was described
as "exceptionally weak," the newspaper reports.
A remarkable U-turn.
Because the paramilitary militia under its leader
Enrique Tarrio
has so far been loyal to the former US president.
At an election campaign event, Trump even asked the “Proud Boys” to “stand by”.
To the sheer horror of the public.
But the
handover to Joe Biden
, the - belated - condemnation of the storming of the Capitol and probably also the exit of Trump on the communication platform
, through which he has communicated with his followers so far, has
deepened
the rift between him and the
Proud Boys
.
The fact that he did not even, as evidently the thought game of the right-wing group, pardon those who have to face justice, turned the ditch into a gaping abyss.
Even a welcome greeting to the 46th US President
Joe Biden could
be read on the Proud Boys Telegram channel: “This administration is at least honest about its intentions.” What did
Donald Trump
call to his once loyal base in his farewell speech?
"Have a nice life!" And he was off in the direction of the sunshine state of Florida.
