Proud Boys’ Enrique Tarrio joins Jan 6 supporters in DC. One says they were “chosen by God” on J6 to lead a “war against evil.”
As they march to the Capitol, a woman stands nearby shouting: “Traitors! Terrorists!”
Bystanders also chant of “Nazis” and “Obama!” J6 supporters chant back “USA!”

On this fifth anniversary, let's see what CSPOA head Richard Mack thinks about the J6 insurrection.
In a 12/17/25 webinar, not only did he defend the insurrectionists, he attacked law enforcement defending the Capitol.
At least three WA State Sheriffs will share the stage with Mack this weekend.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.
