Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, who hosts a show on Censored.TV, staged a hoax two weeks ago where it looked like he was being raided by the FBI.

This left many of his fans worried as they believed he was taken, but it turns out he was lying about it the entire time. He has cleared the air publicly about the hoax, saying he took his family on a vacation to France, and many of his supporters are baffled and dismayed as a result.

“I think it’s important to take the kids on these educational vacations,” McInnes said about his French vacation.

McInnes also read hate mail on his show from fans who believe his stunt was inappropriate considering the reign of terror being inflicted on right-wing Americans by the Biden regime.

“Being edgy and manipulating the people who support you is so much more fulfilling than going after the people who tried to destroy your life. What is even better is everybody now being able to use this against people on the right,” one angry fan told McInnes.

You provide great entertainment but people like myself follow you more for your voice of reason in these crazy times in which we live. Most of us would eagerly support you financially if you found yourself in times of trouble, regardless of your high net worth. Every day you fundraise for friends of yours who find themselves unjustly in prison… If this arrest has been faked, then the only people laughing are your enemies and the people who view you as a clown, dancing for their entertainment,” another angry fan stated.

McInnes’ full comments can be seen here:

Big League Politics has reported on Proud Boys leaders being targeted by the feds for exercising their 1st Amendment rights:

“Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was apprehended by federal agents in Miami, Fla. on Tuesday and hit with several charges.

Tarrio was charged with one count of conspiracy to obstruct a federal proceeding and obstruction of an official proceeding. He was also hit with two counts each of resisting, impeding and assaulting officers and destruction of property in the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

He was charged despite not being anywhere near the U.S. Capitol during the infamous Jan. 6 rally. Tarrio had been apprehended days earlier for allegedly vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner outside of a church in Washington D.C. during a previous protest. He has disavowed the violence on multiple occasions.

“I don’t agree with or condone what happened at the Capitol when it comes to the violence,” Tarrio said. “We went to Washington D.C. with the intent of sitting there and supporting President Trump and then drink beer after, and obviously, I wasn’t there and I can’t tell you what was in their heads, but I think the mob mentality just took over.”

The indictment claims that Tarrio is responsible for the Jan. 6 violence because of chat messages he shared with other Proud Boys members in a direct attack on his freedom of speech.”

The hoax by McInnes makes a mockery of the real oppression being experienced by right-wing patriots across the country. His Jussie Smollett-esque display has cost him goodwill and grown suspension to what his real motives in conducting this scam may be.
