Proud Boys dirtbag Enrique Tarrio will "definitely" seek $$$$$$$ from Rapin' Bombin' Grampy's J-6 slush fund
https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/enrique-tarrio-wants-a-piece-of-trumps-1-8b-anti-weaponization-fund-40546711/On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the creation of a new $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund to compensate people who claim they have “suffered weaponization and lawfare.”
The announcement provided scant details about how the fund would operate or who would qualify for payouts, but President Donald Trump told reporters the money was intended for people who were “horribly treated,” while Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that “anybody” can apply. The loose criteria quickly raised questions about whether American taxpayers would ultimately end up bankrolling people prosecuted for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
While legal challenges are already underway to block the fund, at least one Miami-born Jan. 6 figure says he plans to cash in.
In a phone interview with New Times on Wednesday morning, longtime Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio said that while he hasn’t taken any concrete steps yet, he will “definitely” seek compensation from the money pot, which he described as “another promise made, another promise kept” by Trump.
