Proud Boys founder appears to be interrupted by law enforcement on air

Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes was interrupted during a livestream last night, 25 August, with allies reporting that he had been arrested,

The notoriously racist, misogynistic, and homophobic far-right agitator was speaking on his Get Off My Lawn show when unidentified people entered the studio.

The NYPD and New York City FBI confirmed they have not arrested Mr McInnes on Friday morning.
