Robert Paul Rundo, 34, pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy to violate the federal Anti-Riot Act.
Robert Paul Rundo, of Huntington Beach, holds down and punches a counter-protester at a political rally at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Huntington Beach, Calif. March 25, 2017. LOS ANGELES — The leader of a Southern California white supremacist group was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison for inciting violence at California political rallies in 2017.
“Hate and violence are antithetical to American values and tear at our community. It is therefore critical that we protect the civil and constitutional rights of our community against those who promote divisiveness,” U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement.Prosecutors say Rundo co-founded the Rise Above Movement, which they describe as “a combat-ready, militant group of a new nationalist white supremacy and identity movement.
Rundo had left the United States after the charges were dismissed and was extradited last year from Romania when they were reinstated.Kimberly Guilfoyle: Latest Trump nominee accused of sexual misconductMiss Manners: I can't believe they'd insult a little child like that‘Why did we even start doing this?’: Santa Clara officials say 2026 FIFA World Cup is ‘highly likely’ to be a money loser
