Proud Boys, January 6, and When a U-Haul Is a Clown Car

The January 6th committee has gone public with its hearings and once again the Proud Boys are in the news. Charges against 5 members of the group, including its leader, Enrique Tarrio have been superseded. Now, we’re talking about straight up sedition.


So, it’s time to look again at what this group — and related groups — did on January 6, and just how dangerous they really are. We’ll also talk about accelerationism, what it is and what accelerationists want.


Joining us are two people who are following the situation closely:


Matthew Kriner is a Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism.


And Jon Lewis is a Research Fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
