Shortly after ridiculing John Fetterman for his tattoos, Tucker flew to CA this weekend to attend the funeral of Hells Angels founder Sonny Barger. Probably didn’t say anything to these guys about theirs. pic.twitter.com/PcXnboVqQ3

Sonny Barger, a five-time novelist, actor, and biker from Modesto, California, was born in October 1938.
Following the dissolution of his previous motorcycle club, the Oakland Panthers, he founded the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels. The group was readily recognisable because each member wore the famous skull patch on their biker jackets.
Even today, the Hells Angels are still a going concern.
Before his death in June, Barger’s estimated net worth was $500,000 (or roughly £400,000), according to Celebrity Net Worth. Due to his notoriety, Barger was able to produce books and make movie appearances.
7,000 PERFORM AT BARGER’S FUNERAL
7,000 people attended Barger’s burial on Saturday to pay their respects to the actor and biker.
Officers from the Sheriff’s Office, Stockton Police Department, and California Highway Patrol attended the memorial service at Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton.
According to accounts, the funeral was a “peaceful” gathering as mourners paid their respects and remembered the late rider with love.
BARGER DIED AT HIS HOME
After a fight with liver cancer, Barger passed away at his home in Livermore, California.
He requested that a statement be put on Facebook in his honour before he passed away. “When you read this message, you’ll know that I’ve left.” I’ve requested that this note be published right away upon my passing.
“I’ve had a long, fulfilling life full with adventures. And I’ve had the honour of belonging to a fantastic club. Despite the fact that I have been in the public eye for many years, I have spent much of my special time with my club brothers, my family, and close friends. Please know that after a brief cancer struggle, I passed away peacefully.
:But also understand that in the end, I was surrounded by what really matters: My wife, Zorana, and my loved ones. Always value honour, keep your head high, and be loyal and free.”
