An anti-Trump conference in Washington, D.C., was evacuated due to a bomb threat linked to a claim made by former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Organizers of the Principles First Summit announced the evacuation from the JW Marriott hotel after receiving a threatening email, which stated that pipe bombs had been placed in the venue. The situation prompted immediate action from hotel and law enforcement officials, who prioritized attendee safety and secured the area.
In a twist to the incident, Tarrio publicly denied any involvement, stating on social media, “I would never do this.” This bomb threat follows a reported altercation he had with former Capitol Police officers at the same hotel. Despite the scare, no explosives were found, allowing the Summit to resume, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding Trump’s presidency and its aftermath. Ex-Representative Adam Kinzinger reaffirmed the spirit of the conference by declaring, “There’s nothing you can do to intimidate me.”
