Gaby Goldstein, Sister District Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives (SDAN) The Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has since filed a lawsuit against the group on behalf of the vandalized Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church.WHITE RAGE: THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH OF OUR RACIAL DIVIDE In December, the Proud Boys, a far-right, all-male self-described group of 'Western chauvinists,' vandalized churches in D.C. The riot followed weeks of other actions by far-right Trump supporters after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the election over Trump. “When they’re storming Congress, they’re seeing themselves as the victim because that’s the narrative that’s been crafted for them.” 'The lie of voter fraud says that ‘we are being victimized by those people in the city who are trying to steal our democracy,’” Anderson said. Soon after, rally attendees climbed the Capitol building and broke in, vandalizing offices and forcing members of Congress, of the media, staff and others into hiding. The rioters had been urged by the president to march to the Capitol to share their disapproval and “ fight much harder,” as he falsely proclaimed that the presidency was being taken from him.
