Extremist
groups have also stepped up their activities since the insurrection.
Last month, the national chairman of the far-right Proud Boys, Enrique
Tarrio, and several other top leaders were charged with seditious
conspiracy. Yet the indictments do not appear to have discouraged the
group from audaciously moving to infiltrate the Republicans
– more than 10 current or former Proud Boys, for instance, now sit on
the Republican party’s executive committee in Miami-Dade, Florida.
