Out front, next breaking news, the payback, the former leader of the proud boys, a free man at this hour because of Trump's blanket pardons of the January 6th defendants, now vowing to revenge those who put him behind bars.

As even some Republicans tonight are raising calling foul, saying that Trump has gone too far on this.

Plus,

the bishop who spoke her mind

directly to Trump's face today

pleading for him to have mercy

for migrants and the LGBTQ community.

The bishop is my guest,

and prominent Republicans

now raising serious objections

over RFK Jr.'s nomination.

Will his be the one that doesn't go through? Let's go

out front. And good evening, I'm Erin Burnett. Out front tonight, the breaking news, revenge, the

former leader of the proud boys who had been sentenced to 22 years in prison, 22 years,

for the extremely serious crime of seditious conspiracy and leading

a plot to prevent the transfer of power on January 6, 2021 is a free man tonight. That is because

of Trump's blanket pardon and commutation of just about every January 6th defendant. Tonight,

the proud boy's leader vowing to get even after Trump's pardon.

The people who did this, they need to feel the heat.

They need to be put behind bars and they need to be prosecuted.

I'm not going anywhere.

He told people not to refer to him as the ex-leaders of the proud boys.
