Say hello to Kenneth J Bonawitz, the Davie, Florida Proud Boy currently wanted by the FBI for attacking police + carrying a knife on January 6th.

He made the mistake of attending an anti-LGBTQ hate rally in Fort Lauderdale & today we reveal him as #MAGAMarlin. Let’s go!🔥🧵 1/

Back in April we posted on Kenneth “Kenny” Bonawitz seeking his ID. There were many clues on him but now we know.

Let’s review what he was up to on Jan 6th before we go into his personal history. 2/

Proud Boy Kenneth “Kenny” Bonawitz of Florida absolutely attended the Jan 6 insurrection and we know because he posted the receipts on his Facebook page.

His tough talk and violent threats also line up with his actions the day of. #MAGAMarlin. 3/

This video footage shows Kenny in a red MAGA hat moving left to right doing a Superman charge at the cops. #January6th #SeditionHunters #MAGAMarlin 4/

Body cam footage captures up close of the altercation between police & Proud Boy Kenneth Bonawitz at the Capitol:

“Get the knife! Get the knife!” 🔪

Police yell as they confiscate a knife he’s carrying on a belt holster. “What are you guys doing?” he repeats. 5/

In interview footage of Kenneth Bonawitz on Jan 6th after the riot you can clearly see the empty knife holster on his belt as well as his distinctive tattoos that earned him the hashtag #MAGAMarlin 6/

After Jan 6th Kenny continued to be active attending various south Florida rallies organized by the Proud Boy front group Floridians First. 7/

Kenny even appeared in one of Floridians First’s meet up flyers alongside FF leader, Proud Boy Gabe Carrera, who was also the main organizer of the Proud Boys attending the Fort Lauderdale “Protect the Children” hate rally on December 3. 8/

Knife wielding Jan 6 Proud Boy rioter Kenneth Bonawitz #MAGAMarlin also shows up at another Floridians First meet up (1st pic on right) alongside several other Proud Boys & the newly elected Broward GOP Vice Chair, Chris Marino (center with white shirt and pony tail) 9/

Would you be surprised to learn Proud Boy Kenneth Bonawitz was also a Q-pilled Trump grifter?

He used pandemic money to start KJ’s Promotional Printing selling MAGA merch with QAnon enthusiast (now ex?) girlfriend Ginger Downs — along with a slew of other failed businesses. 10/

Another pandemic MAGA boomer who rode the Trump train into the far-right extremism orbit of QAnon, the Proud Boys, Jan 6 and soon enough into a jail cell.

A sad ending for Kenneth Bonawitz. 11/

PS — Kinda wild that someone who committed violence at Jan 6 and is so easy to find hasn’t been picked up yet.

Is there something Kenny isn’t telling his fellow Proud Boys? 🐀🤔

Some extra evidence in case there’s even a shred of doubt. #MAGAMarlin

Proud boy J6 rioter @ken_bonawitz was also Tim Pool fanboy. 😂

Imagine being dumb enough to profess your crimes on camera and then give your full name and state.

That’s Florida man and Proud Boy Kenneth Bonawitz #MAGAMarlin 😂

Update: They don’t call them “fed boys” for nothing.
