The P***d B**s are celebrating their role in the US Capitol i**********n on Wednesday by taking a virtual victory lap on social media.
The group - a Southern Poverty Law Center designated h**e group that was told to "stand back and stand by" by Donald Trump during a p**********l debate earlier this year - posted messages boasting and taking credit for the r**t.
"For several hours, our collective strength had politicians in Washington in absolute terror. The treacherous pawns (cops) were also terrified," a Proud Boy wrote on the group's Telegram social media page.
On Parler, another social media platform that welcomes extremists banned from Twitter and Facebook for violating those sites Terms of Service agreements, the P***d B**s openly supported the Capitol i**********n.
"Doesn't look like they're destroying the capital. Looks like they're liberating it," the group wrote. "God bless America and all her patriots."
Prior to the rally, the leader of the P***d B**s, Henry "Enrique" Tarrio was arrested for burning a Black L***s M****r sign that was stolen from a church in Washington DC. He was also found in possession of high capacity firearm magazines.
A DC judge banned Mr Tarrio from entering the District.
The group is being sued by the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law for what it calls a "r****t attack on Metropolitan AME church," which "was one of several levied against churches targeted for their support of the Black L***s M****r Movement."
Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Trump loyalist, echoed right-wing conspiracy theories during the Congressional count last night, alleging that the Trump and Confederate-f**g waving, largely white, unmasked and vocally supportive group of the president's supporters that stormed the Capitol were actually a****a plants.
In addition to that claim being utterly unsubstantiated by facts, the P***d B**s announced their intention to dress in black and wear masks - which is how anti-f*****t protesters generally dress at protests - during the 6 January march into Washington DC.
Mr Tarrio wrote on the P***d B**s' Parler feed that the group would be "incognito and we will spread across downtown DC in smaller teams. And who knows ... we might dress in all BLACK for the occasion."
Videos from the r**t show that some of the first individuals to attack the fence and get into fist fights with police were dressed mostly in black.
