Enrique Tarrio follows and insults officers who defended US Capitol on January 6

Summary

Enrique Tarrio, the pardoned former Proud Boys leader, confronted and insulted police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, calling one a "coward."

He followed officers Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, and Aquilino Gonell at a Washington hotel hosting the Principles First summit. The officers denounced his actions and Trump’s mass pardons of January 6 rioters.

The incident followed Tarrio’s recent arrest for assault near the Capitol.

Officers at the summit warned that Trump’s pardons embolden extremists and urged resistance against his political movement.
