Enrique Tarrio was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington D.C., according to The Associated Press.
Prosecutors had for Tarrio, describing him as the ringleader of a plot to use violence to shatter the cornerstone of American democracy and overturn the election victory by Joe Biden, a Democrat, over Trump, the Republican incumbent.
Tarrio’s lawyers denied the Proud Boys had any plan to attack the Capitol or stop the certification of Biden’s victory. They argued that prosecutors used Tarrio as a scapegoat for Trump, who spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House on Jan. 6 and during an earlier rally in the nation’s capital, and he had complied with a judge’s order to leave the city after his arrest.
