Proud Boy Biggs From Prison: "I Know Trump Will Pardon Me."

Joseph Biggs, leader of the Proud Boys, expressed confidence that former President Donald Trump will pardon him after being sentenced to 17 years in prison for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot. Biggs believes the sentence is meant to discourage political group participation and voting.
The Proud Boys, founded by Gavin McInnes in 2016, is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Biggs spoke about his hope for a pardon during an online interview from jail, where he also criticized the quality of food.
Over 1,106 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol riot. The sentencing of Capitol rioters has faced criticism from Republicans, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who likened Biggs' sentence to punishments for child molesters and called for all charged individuals to be pardoned.
