Responding to news that the former national leader of the Proud Boys was sentenced to 22 years for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called it “despicable” and commented: “We are witnessing a communist takeover of our judicial system to target political enemies.”

But Enrique Tarrio was found guilty by a jury, and the judge who sentenced him on Sept. 5 was appointed by former President Donald Trump.

“This is designed to send a loud and clear message from Joe Biden and his thugs in the DOJ: If you oppose us, you’re going to jail. For a long time,” Greene posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We are witnessing a communist takeover of our judicial system to target political enemies and destroy their lives. It’s despicable.”

Tarrio and three other Proud Boys were found guilty on May 4 of seditious conspiracy and other charges by a jury after a more than three-month trial. In order to convict the men in a criminal trial, the jury decision had to be unanimous.
