You may have heard that the state of Florida banned a poem by Amanda Gorman from grade school libraries. In a series of screenshots tweeted by the group Miami Against Fascism, Salinas appears to be photographed in several Proud Boys events. In another post that featured a picture of Tarrio, Salinas appeared to hail the Proud Boys, writing, “Los mejores,” or “The best” in Spanish, adding, “My Proud boys,” alongside emojis of the American flag, a heart, a flexed arm and prayer hands. She also revealed that she only read snippets of the books that she sought to ban at the education center. “They have to read for me because I’m not an expert,” Salinas told JTA.
