The former leader of the Proud Boys, white supremacist Enrique Tarrio, was arrested again on Friday near the US Capitol building, the site of his last infamous arrest.

He was part of a gathering of people who had been pardoned by Donald Trump after their participation in the right-wing terrorist insurrection on January 6, 2021. He stands accused now of assaulting a woman who was there protesting his gathering.

This case does not look good for Tarrio, as the witnesses to the alleged assault are police officers. They say they watched Tarrio hit the woman’s arm and cellphone after she thrust it in his face. Tarrio had just finished with a news conference that apparently went much better than his interaction with the woman.

Officers asked if she wanted to file charges and according to the police report, she responded in the affirmative. “The woman told our officers that she wanted to be a complainant, and the man was arrested for simple assault.”

The Miami alt-right agitator had been serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy, a charge nearly tantamount to treason, but not quite as serious. He was among around 1,500 participants in the terrifying January 6 attack that Trump collectively excused for their crimes.

I can’t imagine that Trump steps in for him a second time, but I could be wrong.

The Friday press conference that Tarrio was returning from was held among not just released Proud Boys, but fellow convicted seditious conspirator Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers.

The two of them, upon their pardons, had already vowed vengeance. That’s no surprise, given what we learned about them during the trials. As Tarrio’s Oath Keepers associate was being tried, prosecutors played audio of him lamenting that the terrorist act hadn’t been even more violent, saying hit “only regret is they should have brought rifles” and that he’d like to “hang f*cking Pelosi from the lamppost.”

Tarrio wasn’t any better, as you can imagine by him having gotten the lengthiest sentence of anyone from the terror attack.

But to be arrested again this quickly, in the same city outside the same building is absolutely pathetic. If Donald Trump pardons him again, I hope that prosecutors charge him with seditious conspiracy.

It’s clear by the fact that three of the rioters have been arrested and one killed in a shootout just since Trump pardoned them that their only goal is to cause mayhem.
