HuffPost
The president chatted with the former extremist group boss as he was dining at Trump's country club.
Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right Proud Boys and convicted seditionist in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol siege, thanked Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for his pardon and got an “I love you guys” from the president, according to Tarrio and a New York Times report.
The Saturday night encounter came about when a member of Trump’s home-base country club invited Tarrio and his mother, Zuny Duarte, to dinner at the Florida resort, The New York Times reported Sunday. The member introduced the two to the president as he walked by in the main room, an unnamed White House official told the newspaper.
Duarte said Trump recognized Tarrio’s name ― “Oh, you’re that guy” ― and even knew the names of his co-defendants in the case, the Times wrote.
Tarrio gave a glowing account of the encounter on X, formerly Twitter, writing:
I just had a great conversation with @POTUS. He called me and my Mother over while we were at dinner and said he was sorry for what @JoeBiden did to all J6ers. He knew the hardships me and my family faced for 3 long years. He knew how many times they moved me. And he said he is working on making things right. I thanked him for giving me my life back. He replied with…I Love You guys. To the J6ers he wanted me to send yall a message… He said…Thank you.
