Small Group of Proud Boys Protesters March to the Capitol on Jan. 6 Anniversary

About 100 Proud Boys and January 6 supporters marched to honor Ashli Babbitt, the sole rioter killed, on the fifth anniversary of the Capitol attack, organizers said.

  • Starting at 11:45 a.m., Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, called for a march from the White House to the U.S. Capitol retracing the Jan. 6, 2021, route.
  • Convicted of seditious conspiracy, Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader, was sentenced to 22 years and later pardoned among more than 1,500 individuals by President Donald Trump.
  • The march was meant to honor Ashli Babbitt, organizers said, with approximately 100 people attending, including Michelle Witthoeft and Al Holt.
  • Counter-Demonstrators and lawmakers marked the anniversary with criticism, as Rich Graves called it a `terrible day` and Senator Amy Klobuchar praised Capitol Police while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the violent mob.
  • President Donald Trump quickly took up Ashli Babbitt's cause after her death, reinforcing a martyr narrative and movement religiosity within the Make America Great Again movement.
