On the January 13 edition of Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show, host Chris Salcedo interviewed Gavin McInnes, the founder of the violent hate group Proud Boys. McInnes used the appearance to complain about instances of right-wing figures being removed from certain platforms.
The Proud Boys has extensive ties to white supremacists and McInnes himself has a long record of making racist and bigoted remarks. In 2017, McInnes released a video titled “10 Things I hate About Jews” in which he used common antisemitic stereotypes. In 2016, McInnes referred to actor Jada Pinkett Smith as a “monkey actress.”
YouTube suspended McInnes account in 2020 due to violating his policies on hate speech.

Editor’s note: The AP report that follows shows that it was well-off businessmen, longtime GOP donors, and people with money who formed the backbone of the fascist invasion of the Capitol last week. They worked hand in hand with the white supremacists and far-right militants attacking democracy that day.
The violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week was overwhelmingly made up of longtime Trump supporters. The Associated Press reviewed 120 people connected.
