Sedition for Profit: The Proud Boys Want a Payday

Pardoned by a convicted felon, emboldened by a politicized DOJ, and now suing the U.S. for $100 million, the Proud Boys are trying to turn treason into a business model.

There’s gall, there’s shamelessness, and then there’s whatever we’re calling the Proud Boys’ $100 million lawsuit against the United States government.

Five men, convicted seditionists, not misunderstood patriots, have filed a federal complaint claiming the Justice Department violated their rights during their prosecution for leading the violent January 6 insurrection. You read that right: after storming the Capitol to overturn a democratic election, after being lawfully tried and sentenced, they’re now demanding damages.

The only thing more offensive than the filing is the possibility that they might win.
