The far-right group Proud Boys is arranging on social media to hold “incognito” rallies on January 6 to support Trump and protest Biden’s victory that is set for certification in Congress on the same day.
The Proud Boys’ chairman Enrique Tarrio told members of the group to give up on their signature black and yellow outfit and “dress in all BLACK for the occasion.”
He also asked them to gather in small formations to appear like their counter-protesters and the anti-fascists.
On Wednesday, Trump supporters are expected to attend at least four rallies as the Congress unites to approve Biden’s electoral votes.
Proud Boys and Antifa have been clashing since Biden’s victory announcement as the pro-Trump group maintains fraud allegations that stole their idol’s win.
Last month, at least four Proud Boys’ members were stabbed after a protest.
As public demonstrations are being organized ahead of Wednesday, online threats of violence, gun-smuggling into DC, and even calls for an “armed encampment” have emerged on social media.
On January 1, the President reminded their supporters that “the BIG Protest Rally in DC will take place at 11 a.m. on January 6th,” along with the hashtag StopTheSteal.
