Leaders of the far-right group Proud Boys used President Trump's rhetoric to build momentum ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, social-media messages show

, Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right organization known as the Proud Boys, shared a cryptic post on the messaging app Telegram: “What if we invade it?”

The message was sent to his more than 7,000 followers on the app, with the first reply reading “January 6th is D day in America.” The Wall Street Journal reviewed thousands of posts from the Proud Boys and their members across Parler, Telegram and Gab, the social-media platforms where they rallied supporters online after mostly being banned from Facebook and Twitter . The messages show the group repeatedly invoking President Trump’s rhetoric in the weeks leading to the Jan. 6 protest as they built momentum toward what became a violent showdown.

Lack of respect for the democratic process was apparent. Mob rude and disinformation were displayed.

husainhaqqani which social media messages ?

They learnt it from Burn/Loot/Murder & 'mythical' Antifa who were encouraged the entire summer by Dems.

How many Proud boys arrested

The yellow flag of Rep of Vietnam (before 1975). Just to be clear, the Vietnamese living overseas and USA have nothing to do with this. There are classes of Viet. Ones are well-educated and others are not that, Unfortunately, they follow Trump.

Then I wish Trump would send a secret coded message to these yahoos and tell them to go home

LeonardoCurzio Diganme algo que no sepa!!!!!!

Stop promoting divisions, there is newsworthy content in the South China Seas. China wants world dominance nothing less.

I'm left leaning, but I think all these bans are going to backfire BIG time. It's like banning college kids from drinking. They are going to anyway and binge drink EVEN MORE.

Proud Boys, Boogaloo Bois & trump used each other. Trump opened the door for racists & far right extremists. Trump gave them a pass to be out in the open & they took it. They praised him & he did the same back to them. He’s gone & they don’t care.

Trump showed his hate for America in plain sight. How anyone can side with this anarchist is beyond me

How the hell can you say that? Most irresponsible reporting. Come on just report facts not speculation.

When is this hate-filled group going to be called what they are: domestic terrorists

Duh. Who else? Does anyone really think the left would dress up as Trump troglodytes & storm the Capital to over turn an election we just won?

Hope they all enjoy jail!!!

As has been repeated regularly, Trump was the excuse, not the motivation. Anarchists do what they want and do not require or care about instruction from others. Clearly Trump lost his grip after losing the election but he certainly did not direct a government coup.

Why was Trump banned?

We really don’t seem to be taking this Capitol attack very seriously! What Law enforcement is doing right now is nothing compared to what needs to happen! They must round up everyone who helped incite it like laurenboebert , Trump, Giuliani etc! They declared War in America!

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

And to think that Trump would have definitely known about the impact of his rhetoric that was happening over his presidency years.

The goal is to place the blame on Trump and create an unsubstantiated impeachment.

Right wing extremists are really just products of professional pearl clutching.

FAKE NEWS FROM SWAMP STREET JOURNAL

So wsj you’re finally admitting that there was a plot to do this and Trumps speech had nothing to do with it.

Is Proud boys affiliated with Pride day?

RepRaskin for your case

The Proud Boy’s follow Trump’s orders. Remember, “Stand down. Stand by”.

It wasn't a dog whistle. It was a top of his lungs scream for a call to action. Yet, Republicans still defend Trump.

At the 9/29 presidential debate, Trump told them the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by. They were euphoric. They were just waiting for the green light from Trump. And then they got it. 👇👇👇

People in that crowd made a personal choice. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. No one can be held accountable for the actions of others. Nor, can someone use the excuse “they made me.” Watch the verdict in “A Few Good Men” and the discussion after.

SO incitement?!?

Even to wake up today, it took the HAND of God. Listen in

Fuck WSJ. Like watching CNN. Propaganda.

BS This is Antifa and BLM!!! Dems hinch men

Antifa and BLM will burn it down if they don’t get their way with “sleepy Joe!”

Yikes, could there be collusion? A call for incitement?

How many of those identified or arrested in the Capitol incident were positively identified as Proud Boys members ?

Well, obviously

Why is WSJ on over drive to spread venom and further divide this great country 🤷‍♂️

When do you plan on reporting on the arrest of John Sullivan, leader of the charge and BLM activist? Or does that not fit your narrative…

they are invading their own country ?

Pride comes before the fall. We have to have things to be proud of, and when we do, we protect those things with everything we have. Our democracy is something to be proud of, not something to delegitimize and destroy.

They look like 🐒 on them FEDERAL WALLS! Ijs.

Fake news

America is moving towards a civil war insha Allah
