It’s Not Funny Anymore: Vice to Proud Boys
Synopsis:
Meet Gavin McInnes, the audacious Canadian who birthed two polarizing legacies: the left-leaning, multi-billion-dollar VICE media empire and the notorious Proud Boys, a right-wing militia group that was at the forefront of the storming of the Capitol on January 6th 2021. Once celebrated as a progressive visionary, McInnes’ transformation into a right-wing provocateur stunned the world and left many old colleagues and friends questioning how the once coolest man in New York City became the controversial leader of the Proud Boys.
