A far-right influencer and some of his supporters showed up to the BET Awards holding racist signs, sparking a melee that was caught on video.

Jake Lang, who President Trump pardoned for crimes committed during the January 6 insurrection, had a group of people rush him while outside Sunday's award show at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Lang claims he was "nearly MURDERED by a violent BLACK MOB" and alleges a glass bottle was thrown at him, among other objects.

He did not mention the messages he was there delivering, including signs reading, "BLACK PARENTS are FAILURES."

The situation became so volatile for Lang and his crew that they hopped back in their truck and sped off.

Lang was among the 1,600 others who participated in the Capitol attack and were later pardoned when Trump was voted back into office.

He reportedly has not expressed regret for his actions and calls himself a political prisoner.
