INTERVIEW: Tonight, I interviewed three "boogaloo boys" and original organizers of the armed rallies taking place Sunday at state capitols.

@henrylocke16, @classcountryboi, and one who wanted to remain fully anonymous will be participating tomorrow, and went on camera.

The group clarified to me that their rally, which had been organized for months, isn't pro-Trump.

"We recognize that Joe Biden is going to to be the next president of the United States," said @henrylocke16. "Fulfill your oath and respect our constitutional rights."

Another of them said he doesn't care who the president is, and doesn't even vote.

His priority is more-so state governments, he says.

"Honestly, I think our beef is more with our states than the fed."

"You're going to swear an oath to uphold the constitution," @classcountryboi said, addressing Biden. "Do not listen to a political ideology. Listen to what the American people want."

He says Trump has created "division" which he says he hopes Biden won't continue.

This sort of interview isn't my usual style, but I thought it was important to document these activists in their own words before the event takes place, inevitably to the confusion of a country still processing what happened in DC last week.

See the full, uncut interview.

Like all my footage, it is available to license.

I will be covering the rally live tomorrow in #Columbus, Ohio, and I have freelancers filming in several other states as well.
