The Proud Boys’ Path to Jan. 6
Listen now
Description
This episode contains strong language. After a nearly yearlong investigation, the congressional committee examining the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will begin holding televised hearings on Thursday. One focus of the hearings will be the Proud Boys. The trajectory of that group, which grew out of a drinking club in New York City for men who felt put upon by liberal culture, has now led to charges of trying to overthrow the United States government. Guest: Alan Feuer, a reporter covering courts and criminal justice for The New York Times.
