Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Gregory Purdy

Gregory Purdy, left, a former candidate for New York Assembly who was part of the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

Welcome to what is the 1162nd original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’re profiling Gregory Purdy, who was a candidate back in 2016 for District 95 of the New York Assembly who ran for office at the age of 18. We’re profiling him because he, his brother, and his father were a part of Trump’s failed coup on January 6th.

Greg Purdy was arrested five years after his loss in the 2016 elections in November of 2021 for having attacked the barricades at the Capitol on January 6th, 2022. The younger Purdy tried claiming that all of his efforts that day were “peaceful pushes”, but when he also was posting earlier that he had a “war cry” and “it’s our job to do a (expletive) rebellion”, while admitting he got teargassed and was in the Capitol building itself.

What few young Republicans there are truly are flushing themselves down the toilet with Trump.
