Enrique Tarrio's Mother Breaks Silence on Son's 22-Year Prison Sentence

The mother of former Proud Boys leader Enrique "Henry" Tarrio defended her son's innocence and criticized his 22-year prison sentence for his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. She claimed that Tarrio didn't play a significant role in the attack and called the case against him a "witch hunt." Tarrio's defense lawyer announced plans to appeal the sentence, citing issues with the trial's venue. Tarrio's mother also urged supporters to donate to his online legal defense fund. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed criticism of the harsh treatment of Jan. 6 defendants, including Proud Boys members, and suggested he might pardon them if elected president.
