'We took the fall for him': Proud Boy leader snarls at Trump for being ignored

A former leader of the far-right Proud Boys took to X late Thursday night to rant at Donald Trump despite the fact that the president had him released from his 17-year prison sentenceafter less than two years for taking part in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Joe Biggs, a former Marine who filmed himself laughing and storming the Capitol, was one of the rioters freed from incarceration after Trump won re-election but was also one of the handful who did not receive an accompanying pardon.

Biggs was convicted on six criminal counts, including seditious conspiracy, and he was sent to federal lock-up before Trump commuted his sentence.

At that time, the Independent reported, Biggs expressed dismay at his failure to get a pardon that would wipe his slate clean.

“I’m extremely disappointed in him,” Biggs said of Trump before adding, "I didn't go to trial and blame him for it. I didn't go and say, ‘Oh, this was Trump's fault.’ I sat there and I bit my tongue and I ate it.”

On Thursday, he ramped up his attack on the president and begged for a pardon.

"We (J6ers) went to jail so Trump didn't have to. We took the fall for him. At least he could do is pardon me and allow me to take care of my family. Allow me to receive my military benefits and retirement pension I worked so hard for," he wrote.

"Yeah you took a bullet in the ear. I lost 4 years of my life and everything I had worked on up until that point," he continued before admitting, "Solitary confinement will make a man go insane and yet I made it through. I had an inmate who was f----- up on drugs take a bite out of my neck. I had to bash his head in with a lock to survive."

"Please @POTUS help me get my life back," he added.
