Enrique Tarrio On Instagram

Enrique Tarrio has been banned from all social media platforms, including Instagram.

The Proud Boys and Enrique haven’t had an official presence on Twitter and Instagram since the social media platform banned them in 2018.

So they’ve spent the last few days reveling in their newfound, Trump-fueled celebrity on Parler, a two-year-old social media app popular among conservatives.

And it was their absence on Twitter, caused by poisonous and nasty language, that allowed LGBT activists to gain control of the hashtag #proudboys on Sunday.
