The Proud Boys are a group of self-described 'Western Chauvinists' who claim credit for 'creating the modern world.'
Greene joined the Proud Boys, a self-described group of"Western Chauvinists" who claim credit for"creating the modern world," in December 2020. The DOJ said that Greene and his fellow Proud Boys met at the Washington Monument on January 6 while"intentionally dressed in clothing that concealed their membership as Proud Boys."
Capitol rioter and former Proud Boys member Matthew Greene pleaded guilty to two charges related to his participation in the January 6 insurrection as part of an agreement with prosecutors on Wednesday. Supporters of former President Donald Trump are pictured outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C on January 6.The group then marched to the Capitol alongside other soon-to-be rioters, moving into restricted areas, crossing police lines and eventually participating in moving police barricades.
A filing from an attorney for Greene indicated that he has since"concluded that his personal beliefs and ethics do not align with those of the Proud Boys" and"is anxious to publicly disavow his brief membership in this group," according toGreene was indicted alongside fellow Proud Boys William Pepe and Dominic Pezzola, who was captured on video apparently using a stolen riot shield to smash through a Capitol building window before entering.
The charges Greene pleaded guilty to carry a maximum combined sentence of 25 years, although he is likely to given a sentence of around four years due to factors that include the plea agreement. His sentencing hearing is set for March 22, 2022.
