Proud Boys founder and far-right agitator Gavin McInnes was interrupted and disappeared during a livestream last night, with allies reporting that he had been arrested – possibly by the FBI.
Mr McInnes, a notoriously misogynistic, racist and homophobic activist who pioneered a now-familiar style of violent right-wing organisation blended with internet troll-style intellectual posturing, was hosting his Get Off My Lawn show on Thursday when unidentified people apparently entered his studio.
There are questions about whether Gavin McInnes, Proud Boys' founder, has been arrested. (No agency has claimed it.) Audio of last night's show opening:
00:01 siren
00:09 siren
01: 42 radio squawk.
McInnes says someone is at the door. Says he can get a lawyer. Walks off camera. pic.twitter.com/dALE3oszpN— Eileen Clancy (@clancynewyork) August 26, 2022
