The leader of the Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced to more than five months in jail on Monday for burning a Black Lives Matter banner that was torn down from a historic Black church in downtown Washington and bringing two high-capacity firearm magazines into the nation's capital days shortly before the Jan. 6 riot.
Enrique Tarrio told the court he was "profusely" sorry for his actions, calling them a "grave mistake."
"What I did was wrong," Tarrio said during the hearing held via videoconference.
