Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and President Donald Trump shared a brief but cordial conversation at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, according to a new report. The far-right militant approached Trump on Saturday alongside a member of the club to thank the president for his Jan. 6-related pardon, an interaction that led to a roughly 10-minute discussion, The New York Times reported Sunday. Trump, for his part, reportedly said that his supporters who violently stormed the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election had been grossly mistreated. “He called me and my Mother over while we were at dinner and said he was sorry for what @JoeBiden did to all J6ers,” Tarrio wrote on X. I thanked him for giving me my life back. He replied with…I Love You guys. To the J6ers he wanted me to send y’all a message…He said…Thank you.” The White House did not respond to the Times’ request for comment on the interaction.
