Proud Boys Leader Is Too Broke to be Proud, So Now He's Selling Black Lives Matter T-Shirts and…What? No, I'm Not Making This Up

Enrique Tarrio is selling the merchandise because his organization is in financial disarray.

In todayโ€™s episode of DIS NIGGA HERE!, Enrique Tarrio, a man who surprisingly is still a leader of the infamous conserva-Nazi fanboy club the Proud Boys, said that he has had to resort to selling Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump T-shirts in order to make money because his organization of bumbling idiots in visor sunglasses have been shunned by banks and card companies into broke-beyotch-hood. Apparently, being a traitor to his own message was the only way for him to stay afloat, but more importantlyโ€”this is why niggas canโ€™t just be buying BLM merch from any old Judas-without-the-Messiah-ass vendor who has it for sale.

Anyway, Tarrioโ€”who was once arrested for burning BLM bannersโ€”revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the far-right group the Oath Keepers is breaking up the white supremacist band after board members accused the founder of spending its money on hair dye, steaks and guns (Yes, yes I am currently imagining Guy Fieri eating a steak dinner while holding up a 45-caliber pistol with an inscription on it that reads, โ€œ45 is still my president!โ€โ€”why do you ask?). So, due to the Oath Keeperโ€™s infighting, the โ€œleader of the Proud Boys, choked off from the financial system, is printing โ€˜Black Lives Matterโ€™ T-shirts to make money,โ€ the Journal reports.

Basically, banks and card-processing services werenโ€™t fucking with the Proud Boys because it turns out being associated with insurrectionists and โ€œUnite the Rightโ€ cultists isnโ€™t a good look for a respectable business. So Tarrio started a secret company to sell activists and well-meaning liberals their own slogans back to them, because, fuck it, the guy is already an Afro-Cuban leader of a white nationalist movement, so if someone were to try to tell him he couldnโ€™t possibly be a bigger fraud, heโ€™d just sell them a t-shirt that reads, โ€œhold my beer.โ€

Actually, that brings me back to why earlier, I wrote that I was surprised Tarrio was still even a Proud Boys leader.

In January, The Root reported that Tarrio was outed as an informant for the FBI and local law enforcement in South Florida, which he reportedly became following a 2012 fraud case in which he pleaded guilty to helping sell stolen goods. For years, Poppa-opp Tarrio had cops raiding marijuana grow spots, he was testifying against fellow thieves with stolen shit for sale, he was going undercover to help the law bust up illegal immigrant smuggling ringsโ€”bruh, this nigga was basically Tekashi 69 without the Harley Quinn makeover.

I guess Iโ€™m just surprised that the Proud Boys, with all of their tendencies toward criminal activity, would still accept the man I affectionately refer to as โ€œSnitchy McSnitcherton from Snitchville, TellonYou-opolisโ€ as a leader they can trust.

Anyway, Tarrio wouldnโ€™t tell the Journal the name of his fake-tivist merchandise companyโ€”where, along with BLM shirts, he sells โ€œImpeach 45" shirtsโ€”so, again, weโ€™re all just going to have to be careful about where we get our BLM apparel from so we donโ€™t end up giving our money to the devil weโ€™re supposed to be fighting.

Broke-ass white supremacists are fucking up the whole game. Damn.
