Big League Politics – by Waldo Crane
Enrique Tarrio, who is the Chairman of the Proud Boys fraternal organization, had his personal Chase bank account shut down abruptly earlier this week.
In a letter obtained exclusively by Big League Politics, the bank informs him that he must shut down all of his accounts by April 1st, 2019, without giving a reason.
This comes just days after Chase Bank’s payment processor, Chase Paymentech, de-platformed him on a website he runs that allows groups and charities to sell merchandise, and raise money for causes. The website, 1776.shop, is most known for selling the famous “Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong” shirts which Stone was spotted in during the late-night arrest at his home.
Tarrio has been facing months of backlash for his affiliation with the Proud Boys, first getting onto the radar in an article published on The Daily Beast, which asserts that people of color are joining white supremacist organizations. Tarrio is both Cuban, and black, and was profiled in that article.
The Proud Boys, despite simply being a fraternal organization that believes in Western culture, have been smeared as a hate group. Gavin McInnes, the group’s founder, is currently suing the SPLC over their hate group label.
Since the Daily Beast article, Tarrio has been facing an onslaught of targeting by both tech companies, and financial services.
He tells Big League Politics he has been banned from the following services, among others:
- Airbnb
- FirstData
- Square
- Stripe
- PayPal
Speaking to Big League Politics, Tarrio questions why so many major companies feel the need to target him.
“My political views pretty much mirror those of President Donald Trump,” Tarrio says. “But the media, and groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, smear me trying to tie me, an Afro-Cuban, to ideologies that would force me out of my own country if they went into effect. It’s completely asinine and based completely outside of reality.”
Now that he has lost his bank account, his own life will become much more difficult, as Tarrio explains.
“How am I supposed to get food to feed my family? Are taking the directions of the Governor of Virginia and trying to abort me 34 years after birth,” Tarrio questions. “They are essentially denying my existence, and trying to force me into homelessness, and ultimately death.”
Tarrio believes that unless President Donald Trump steps in, the de-platforming and dehumanizing of conservatives will continue.
“He needs to step in, not only because if he doesn’t he will lose in 2020 with all of his supporters being kicked off social media, but because it’s the right thing to do,” Tarrio finishes.
Is their hero really the guy who attends lgbtqxyz parades? search “roger stone gay parade”…smfh
Yeah, that’s the subtext. And he does foul things in his vids, really gross. But that ANYONE could be bank-blocked for political views is nuts. I think this is the first I’ve seen of such an onslaught. Sigh of things to come?

Oh yes, I believe it is a sign. All those sensationalized organizations were created to do just this. proud boys, infowhores etc., heck even pantifa had its role in assisting the setup. Being multi-faceted in their endgame has made them the “success” they are today. But there’s one response to all this they don’t want because it’s one that is REAL, it’s permanent and they can’t control OR fake it. It’s OUR revolution.
Yeah, that’s the litmus test. Who’s embracin’ The Bill of Rights and standing ready.
