Tarrio also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of possessing a high-capacity magazine.
He's facing a maximum of 6 months on each count when he's sentenced next month.
"I'm dying to get this over with this," Tarrio said. "I'm guilty--no defense."

No remorse for the things he does. He and the Proud Boys need to be monitored closely by the FBI.

I seem to recall that his Nazi pals weren't too happy with him about that. A t-shirt reading that "Enrique Tarrio did nothing wrong" might be like waving a red flag in front of a bull for these pea-brains.
