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.

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 60 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 16 points 3 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.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

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?

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 39 points 3 days ago

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

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 4 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.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 48 points 3 days ago

I hate him, does that count?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

If this post is any indication, he definitely has succeeded in making America hate him again. If that's what he wanted.

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

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?

[-] solomon42069@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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!

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

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

So glad no one forgot that time he fucked himself on cam

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Same. I'm usually the one to bring it up but I've seen 3 comments about it already.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days 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.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

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

[-] godlessworm@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 21 points 3 days ago

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.

You're the criminal because you broadcasted my crimes on tv

You have to admit that the dude has a fascinating brain; such gymnastics

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days 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:

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

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

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.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

What about just hating him?
