A New York man who was a member of the Proud Boys pleaded guilty Wednesday to obstructing Congress and conspiring to obstruct law enforcement during the pro-Trump riot on Jan. 6.

The plea to the felony charge is significant because Matthew Greene, 34, of Syracuse admitted coordinating with other New York-based members of the extremist group at the front of the Capitol mob, although there is no evidence he actually entered the building. Greene is the first self-admitted member of the Proud Boys to plead guilty in a felony conspiracy case stemming from the riot and agree to cooperate with law enforcement. He is set to be sentenced March 10.

The Capitol Insurrection was a low point in the American democracy and will be studied for decades to come as a focal point of the current state of the union. The riot was a culmination of the falsehoods that were fed to the supporters of the former President who had no interest in preserving the integrity the democratic foundations this nation’s governments rests upon. To the contrary, they threw all their eggs in the basket of 1 man who would never, could never, admit defeat.
