Apparently Roger Stone has joined the Proud Boys

Not kidding. He's an actual, indoctrinated member, and has even been using them as his personal bodyguards.

"A year ago, longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone pledged to the Proud Boys. He said matter-of-factly that he is a “Western chauvinist,” the term Proud Boys use to describe their core beliefs. As a member, having hired other members to act as his security team in wake of his indictment by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller should come as no great surprise some have said.

Stone was indicted for lying about his affairs with WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign as part of the investigation into a Russia-backed attack on the 2016 presidential election and then-candidate Trump’s possible collusion with Russian actors.

Since his public appearances show Proud Boys by his side and recently designated Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, a first-generation Cuban-American from Miami, standing with Stone and speaking out on his behalf, they appear as allies."

Stone and his pal Alex Jones are bucking for a civil war. I would guess the Proud Boys would want a piece of that action too. 😖
