They're watching—and learning.
, the images of which still sit with me a year and a half later. Although most of the rioters there that day were not affiliated with any particular extremist group, this small sect operated with chilling efficiency, and it was clear they knew what they were there to do.
I watched the Jan. 6 hearings on Tuesday with particular interest, since they purported to focus on these groups and their connection to the Trump White House. The military-styled cosplayers appeared to execute their training in the riot, organizing in a stack before rushing inside the Capitol building. Testimony came from a former Oath Keeper and an unaffiliated rioter on how the attack unfolded. The committee constructed vivid scenes. But I wasn’t sure it had totally met its promises.
. Everything Jackson has said about the Oath Keepers we know to be true, it’s really good research. But when you have someone who used to be in the group saying the same things, it brings a different gravity. It’s akin to reading a primary source. On the flip side, people who are supporters of President Trump who downplay the insurrection will say this guy is bitter. That he’s no longer in the movement. He’s been co-opted by leftist forces. There’s always an answer for this stuff.
People were criticizing him, saying he’s an insider but he left the group in 2018. He hasn’t even been part of the Oath Keepers for years, so why are you dredging this guy up? And then the usual kind of conspiracy stuff, basically saying this is all an Antifa plot. Some of this stuff gets pretty bizarre pretty quickly. I’d say a lot of the folks saying these things are a bit unhinged. They’re trying to be deliberately provocative.
The immediate impact has been that they’re a lot more quiet and more careful. They’re far less cavalier than they were, because they’re seeing actual consequences. People are being arrested. New Zealand just designated the Proud Boys a terrorist group. We had an intel brief on it last week, or two weeks ago. They’re designated as a terrorist organization by foreign governments. This is serious stuff that comes with sanctions, proscriptions, travel bans, asset freezes.
