Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports that Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean lashed out at former President Donald Trump when he realized that he would likely be going to jail for him, according to new messages revealed by prosecutors.
“Alright I’m gonna say it. FUCK TRUMP!” Nordean reportedly wrote on Jan. 20. “Fuck him more than Biden. I’ve followed this guy for 4 years and given everything and lost it all.”
Nordean, who was arrested in February and faces multiple charges related to his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said Trump led his followers to “believe some great justice was upon us,” but that “it never happened.”
“Now I’ve got some of my good friends and myself facing jail time cuz we followed this guys [sic] lead and never questioned it,” he wrote. “We are now and always have been on our own.”
Nordean also complained that Trump “pardon[ed] a bunch of degenerates” as he left office,
while leaving his followers “on [t]he battle field bloody and alone.”
