In the final days of December 2020, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the Proud Boys chairman at the time, received a nine-page document titled “1776 Returns,” according to federal prosecutors.
That document allegedly laid out a plan to occupy “crucial buildings” in Washington, D.C., with as “many people as possible.” Possible targets included the House and Senate office buildings near the Capitol. The goal of this occupation would be to “show the politicians We the People are in charge.”
The person who sent that document to Tarrio is identified in federal court documents only as someone who is “known to the grand jury.”
Why was Congress woman Lauren Boebert referencing the Proud Boy's Code Word 1776?
Lauren Opal Boebert, 34-year-old firearms enthusiast, covid-restrictions refusenik, QAnon sympathizer, somehow or other brand-new newly-sworn-in member of Congress from the third district of Colorado and electoral-vote rejecter, tweeting the day of the January 6 Insurrection.
Was Boebert the person who sent Tarrio the 1776 Document?
Not sure if one has anything to do with the other but Boebert using the code-word 1776 does seem more than coincidence? I do believe I heard other Republicans reference 1776 too, they just weren't dumb enough to tweet it...
