Proud Boy Leader Says He Was Invited to White House. White House Says It Was Actually a Public Xmas Tour. December 12, 2020,
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio said on Saturday that he had been invited to the White House, ostensibly while he was in Washington, D.C. to attend a series of rallies protesting the results of the 2020 election.
His posts, which were made on the Trumpian social media site Parler, set off alarm bells over the possibility that a top figure with a far-right, neo-fascist movement had been granted an audience with top government officials.
But the White House says that he was not, in fact, invited at all and was merely on a public Christmas tour of the complex.
