Summary

An anti-Trump conservative summit in Washington, DC, was evacuated Sunday due to a “credible bomb threat” allegedly sent by an account claiming to represent Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader.

The threat, which named several high-profile attendees, remains unverified by police. Tarrio, who was arrested over the weekend, denied involvement and threatened legal action.

The event, an alternative to CPAC, featured prominent anti-Trump conservatives and ex-law enforcement officers who had clashed with Tarrio earlier.

DC tensions were heightened amid the CPAC gathering and related protests.

    So all maga has to do is call in a bomb threat each time their enemies attempt to meet at a location and that prevents them from ever meeting.

    I mean, it’s brilliant. Some little old grandma could shut down the entire opposition from her living room.

    We are fucked.
