Proud Boys Leader Says Members Resolve Disputes By Licking Each Other's Faces In Bizarre Interview

Proud Boys Leader Says Members Resolve Disputes By Licking Each Other's Faces In Bizarre Interview

When the far-right, neo-fascist Proud Boys aren't engaging in political violence, they're licking each other's faces.

Wait... what?


That's what the organization's chairman, Enrique Tarrio, said during a bizarre interview with Vice as he prepared to serve a five-month prison term.

Tarrio, who was sentenced last month for burning a Black Lives Matter banner stolen from a church in Washington, D.C., and for carrying two high-capacity firearm magazines, said that members have an interesting way of resolving their disputes.

He said:

"At our national event, every year, we put a boxing ring together, or I rent an octagon, the guys put gloves on, and they just f****** go ham on each other."

But, he added, members don't always want to fight. In fact,

"...they don't even want to fight. They get drunk, they slap each other's asses, they kiss each other on the f****** cheek, lick each other in the f****** face, you know?"
"And I'm like, you guys were just f****** calling each other the most stupidest thing just a month ago."

Tarrio referred to these bonding sessions as "pretty magical."

Others, however, think they're just a bit too weird. These guys may have watched Fight Club one too many times.

A little homoerotic, no?










The Proud Boys have denied that they're homophobic, though members have gone on the record about the group's anti-semitic and homophobic internal culture.

Last year, the LGBTQ+ community mocked the group on social media after they co-opted the hashtag #ProudBoys by posting images of gay pride and pictures of themselves with loved ones.

While there isn't really much information out there about how the group selects their leaders, Tarrio has hinted that there is some kind of re-election process that he might or might not run for again.

Regardless, he says he believes the group will be "well taken care of" while he's away, which sounds like there's a whole crew of face-lickers already lined up.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

JD Vance Called Out For Hypocrisy As He Visits Disneyland With His Family Amid Boos

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Rep. Nancy Mace Gets Brutal Reminder On X After She Tried To Praise Trump For 'Rebuilding' The U.S.

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fact-checked by an X Community Note after she tried to praise President Donald Trump for "rebuilding" the country, when she herself voted against President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
