His voice cracked as he expressed remorse for letting down his family and vowed that he is done with politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am not a political zealot. Inflicting harm or changing the results of the election was not my goal,\u201d Tarrio said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease show me mercy,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI ask you that you not take my 40s from me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, said Tarrio was motivated by \u201crevolutionary zeal\u201d to lead the conspiracy that resulted in \u201c200 men, amped up for battle, encircling the Capitol.\u201d Noting that Tarrio had not previously shown any public remorse for his crimes, the judge said a stiff punishment was necessary to deter future political violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt can\u2019t happen again. It can\u2019t happen again,\u201d the judge repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standing before the judge in orange jail garb, Tarrio lowered his head after the sentence was read, then squared his shoulders and put his hands before his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/08\/30\/ex-proud-boys-leader-enrique-tarrio-to-be-sentenced-for-jan-6-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\">sought 33 years behind bars<\/a> for Tarrio, describing him as the ringleader of a plot to use violence to shatter the cornerstone of American democracy and overturn the election victory by Joe Biden, a Democrat, over Trump, the Republican incumbent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutor Conor Mulroe told the judge that the Proud Boys came dangerously close to succeeding in their plot to stop the transfer of presidential power \u2014 and noted that \u201cit didn\u2019t take rifles or explosives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere was a very real possibility we were going to wake up on Jan. 7 in a full-blown constitutional crisis,\u201d Mulroe said, with \u201c300 million Americans having no idea who the next president would be or how it would be decided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prosecutor urged the judge to ensure that \u201cconsequences are abundantly clear to anyone who might be unhappy with the results of 2024, 2028, 2032 or any future election for as long as this case is remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarrio wasn\u2019t in Washington, D.C, when Proud Boys members joined <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/congress-confirm-joe-biden-78104aea082995bbd7412a6e6cd13818\" target=\"_blank\">thousands of Trump supporters<\/a>, who smashed windows, beat police officers and poured into the House and Senate chambers as lawmakers met to certify Biden\u2019s victory. But prosecutors say the 39-year-old Miami resident organized and led the Proud Boys\u2019 assault from afar, inspiring followers with his charisma and penchant for propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarrio had been arrested two days before the Capitol riot on charges that he <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joe-biden-donald-trump-politics-race-and-ethnicity-district-of-columbia-4ec2c696a58253b95ef76e5c18aa5ada\" target=\"_blank\">defaced a Black Lives Matter banner<\/a> during an earlier rally in the nation\u2019s capital, and he had complied with a judge\u2019s order to leave the city after his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge agreed with prosecutors that the Proud Boys\u2019 crimes could be punished as \u201cterrorism\u201d \u2014 increasing the recommended sentence under federal guidelines. But he ultimately sentenced the Proud Boys to prison terms shorter than what prosecutors were seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The backbone of the government\u2019s case was hundreds of messages exchanged by Proud Boys in the days leading up to Jan. 6 that prosecutors say showed how the extremists saw themselves as revolutionaries and celebrated the Capitol attack, which sent lawmakers running into hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Proud Boys swarmed the Capitol, Tarrio cheered them on from afar, writing on social media, \u201cDo what must be done.\u201d In a Proud Boys encrypted group chat later that day someone asked what they should do next. Tarrio responded, \u201cDo it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMake no mistake,\u201d Tarrio wrote in another message. \u201cWe did this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarrio\u2019s lawyers denied the Proud Boys had any plan to attack the Capitol or stop the certification of Biden\u2019s victory. They argued that prosecutors used Tarrio as a scapegoat for Trump, who spoke at the \u201cStop the Steal\u201d rally near the White House on Jan. 6 and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-capitol-siege-media-e79eb5164613d6718e9f4502eb471f27\" target=\"_blank\">urged his supporters to \u201cfight like hell.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarrio is the final Proud Boys leader convicted of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/extremism-disinformation\/2023\/05\/05\/veterans-in-proud-boy-jan-6-case-found-guilty-of-seditious-conspiracy\/\" target=\"_blank\">seditious conspiracy<\/a> to receive his punishment. Three fellow Proud Boys found guilty by a Washington jury of the rarely used sedition charge were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Justice Department is <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/capitol-riot-oath-keepers-jan-6-trial-674266174e40ff6d04f9dfa9dd13fef4\" target=\"_blank\">appealing the 18-year prison sentence<\/a> of Rhodes, the Oath Keepers founder, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in a separate case, as well as the sentences of other members of his antigovernment militia group that were lighter than what prosecutors had sought. Prosecutors had requested 25 years in prison for Rhodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio\u2019s sentence is the longest so far among more
