BREAKING: Former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio Arrested by Capitol Police for Defending Himself During Attack by Screaming Protester in DC – It Looks Like Another Setup – VIDEO

Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio is arrested by Capitol Police at US Capitol protest after Tarrio was attacked.

Enrique Tarrio was arrested on Friday outside the US Capitol.

Enrique, former chairman of the Proud Boys, went to take photos outside the US Capitol earlier today after returning to Washington DC after President Trump commuted his sentence.

Tarrio was hosting a press conference with several prominent J6ers, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, investigative reporter Ivan Raiklin, Joe Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola.

These patriots were attacked during their presser by radical left activists.

Then, while he was outside the Capitol building, police swooped in and arrested Enrique Tarrio.

Here is video from the press conference today near the US Capitol.

From TGP contributor Jenn Baker who was at the rally.

Screaming protesters were allowed next to the Proud Boys and J6ers during their protest. There was only a few of them. They were blowing whistles and screaming. The police allowed one particularly annoying screaming woman to get up into the faces of the J6ers. At one point Enrique Tarrio defended himself from this screaming leftist. Enrique swiped his hand to get this woman out of his face. That is when the police arrested Enrique.

It appears this entire event was a set-up.  If Capitol Police were doing their job they would have removed these radical screaming protesters from the protest area.  Instead, they allowed one woman to scream in people’s faces.  Then Enrique swiped his hand to get this nutcase out of his face.  That was all the police needed to arrest Enrique.

UPDATE: Enrique was released moments ago.
