Clowns on a plane. 🤡🛩️

New video released of Miami Proud Boys on a private jet funded by former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne. They flew from CPAC in TX to do street fighting in DC at the Stop the Steal rally.

Let’s remind everyone who they are … 1/
Miami Proud Boy and former Miami GOP committeeman Gilbert Fonticoba — known for ironing his beard.

Currently laying low as he’s facing felony charges for his involvement in Jan 6 — he was on the front lines and inside the Capitol. #SumoPB #RightHandPB 2/
Proud Boy & former Army Captain Gabriel Garcia. One time Miami GOP committeeman & 2020 FL House candidate.

Garcia is under house arrest for his felony J6 charges — he live-streamed himself inside the Capitol & stated in texts that he brought a knife “for offense.” #PBGarcia 3/

How did the Proud Boy as poll workers voter intimidation effort brought to you by @MDCElections work out in Miami? 🗳️

As bad as you would expect! Proud Boy & GOP executive member, Nowell Salgueiro in Westchester, was kicked out for filming & giving bad information on IDs. 1/
Chris Barcenas, another “Ex” Proud Boy and @MiamiDadeGOP executive member, also Jan 6 insurrectionist #USAPB, was in Coral Gables, where he looked uncomfortable as the media filmed him wearing an orange vest while looking disheveled and depressed. 😂 2/

We have some new episodes of #MiamisMostFascist today! 📺🔥

First up: After rallying to his defense Miami Proud Boys have officially renounced white supremacist Rubio canvasser Christopher Monzon after video emerged & Monzon lied in court about working w the Proud Boys. 1/ ImageImage
It’s not the first time Proud Boys have been played then regretted it!

“Ex” Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia published this screed on Monzon last night. Only a week ago PBs were denouncing the attack as “political violence inspired by the Marxist left,” Biden, Democrats & Antifa. 🥴 2/ ImageImage
Also hilarious is Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia #PBGarcia continuing to maintain to the public & media that he’s a “former” Proud Boy when the same content is posted within minutes between his and the Miami Proud Boys channel.

Why does anyone continue to believe him? 3/ ImageImage

One of the groups behind the campaign against LGBTQ History Month at the Miami school board called CCDF (County Citizens Defending Freedom) will be hosting an event w KrisAnne Hall next week.

Let’s take a look at her ties to the militia movement & neo-confederate groups. ☕️ 1/
KrisAnne Hall is a former Suwannee Co, FL prosecutor who rebranded herself as a “constitutional lawyer” after her firing in 2010.

She’s documented as having deep ties to the militia movement and preaches that states and counties have supremacy over the federal government. 2/
Does the idea of “state supremacy” sound familiar?

If you thought of “state’s rights” now you’ll understand why her philosophy ties in well with neo-Confederate hate groups like League of the South which has featured her as a speaker. 3/

Two current members of the @MiamiDadeGOP executive committee were in Telegram chat this weekend with a Nazi telling them why Nazism is good. Both are Miami Proud Boys.

“If Trump punished anti-American companies you’d praise him. That’s what the NSDAP [Nazi Party] did.”

1/🧵 July 24 post by Proud Boy and Miami GOP executive committee
But this isn’t the first time either. Let’s dive in. 🔥🔥

The context of the exchange is Miami Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia — who is facing major prison time for Jan 6 — posted a Gateway Pundit article stating that Nazis at the Tampa TPUSA convention were a “set up.” #PBGarcia

2/
Gabriel & his Proud Boy buddy Adolfo Dominguez aka “Leroy Jethro Gibbs {CPB}” echo that Nazism is a left-wing ideology (widely believed in parts of the far-right).

Within the hour the Nazi account offers a correction: “I know them [the Tampa Nazis]. They’re not leftists.”

#SeditionHunters - On Jan 6 nearly 300 Proud Boys were the engine of the Capitol attack. Florida provided their leadership (Tarrio, Biggs) & the largest numbers. NYT describes how those FL Proud Boys have seized power in the Miami-Dade GOP. 1/

At least 7 Proud Boys now sit on the Miami Republican executive committee. Here's one of them, Gilbert Fonticoba, leaving the Capitol to high-five his buddies and tell them: "They hit me with tear gas - with rubber bullets.." Sound up to end. 2/
For pictures of the Florida Proud Boys who now have GOP roles, see thread by @MIAagainstFash. 3/

Do you know this Proud Boy?

We need your help identifying this South Florida Jan 6 insurrectionary and Proud Boy likely living in Broward County who fought with police and was filmed with a knife on Capitol grounds.

Help us find #MAGAMarlin. 🐟
“Get the knife! Get the knife!” 🎥

Body cam footage from Jan 6 captures #ProudBoy #MAGAMarlin having his knife confiscated by Capitol police during the rioting (yet they let him walk away). The audio includes him speaking, which may help in confirming his identity. #POYB #FAFO
In this shot of #MAGAMarlin after the rioting we can clearly see the empty knife holster on his belt.

Miami Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia #PBGarcia was revealed by his own text messages to have also brought a knife to the Capitol on Jan 6 “for offense.” ⚔️

Would interning for @marcorubio make you familiar with the Capitol and an asset for those storming the building on Jan 6th?

That’s a good question for Miami GOP activist Barbara “Barby” Balmaseda who interned for Rubio and was with key Proud Boys. 1/

📸 #PinkGaitorPBG #Rufio
The recent conspiracy indictment shows the Proud Boys had a plan for January 6 and that Miami based Enrique Tarrio, who was the national chairman at the time, played a key organizing role. 2/

EXPOSED! A Miami GOP activist linked to local @MiamiDadeGOP leadership is revealed to be a Jan 6th insurrectionist who marched with the Proud Boys and was inside the Capitol! 🏛

Meet Barbara Balmasada, aka Barby, aka #PinkGaiterPBG. Guess her political career is over! 🥴
All photos from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
This is significant not only because of Barby’s role as a GOP operative but also her boyfriend, Brandon Diaz, is the executive director of the Miami-Dade GOP — who we’ve previously linked to far-right politics.

@MiamiDadeGOP All images from public sour...
As we’ve reported on previously, members of the Proud Boys operate openly within the local GOP, even holding elected roles.

And we also know Adolfo is not the only one and that Brandon Diaz is perfectly fine with it. Now it’s making more sense.
