If all politics is local, McCarthy better put some attention to California if he wants to drag the Republicans out of the gutter. Behold.
A prominent member of the Proud Boys, who has participated in nationwide protests and marches, has been elected to the Sacramento County Republican Party’s Central Committee, but says his activities should not conflict with his new post.
Jeffrey Erik Perrine, who has been a member of the Sacramento Proud Boys but says he has since left that entity, is waiting to be sworn into his new position, to which he was elected in March.
Perrine, 37, of Citrus Heights has been a focus of online posts by antifa and other groups that refer to him as “a far-right extremist” who is “openly anti-immigrant, racist and transphobic.”
