Pendleton Proud Boy accused in Jan. 6 attack says Antifa and 'left wing' gangs are to blame [View all]
The lawyer for a Pendleton Proud Boys member accused of aiding in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is saying the blame should actually fall on Antifa and other left-wing groups.
In a 93-page response filing in the District of Columbia’s civil suit, California attorney John M. Pierce makes the case that Jonathanpeter Klein, 23, and other members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers did not come prepared to cause violence, but were instead anticipating it from left-wing agitators.
He also denies that an attack on the Capitol building or insurrection by Pro-Trump groups ever took place.
Klein, who is also facing separate criminal charges, is accused of participating in the riot as part of an organized attempt by Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to stop the certification of the 2020 election.
