I had a terrific interview with @That_Girl_Tasha yesterday exploring the inside history of the Oath Keepers, in which she revealed the truth behind so many of Stewart Rhodes’ lies and the travesty his organization became.

Some nuggets worth noting:
— Rhodes embraced the 1999 “Y2K Apocalypse” panic.
—Oath Keepers were his scheme to escape poverty.
—He brazenly lied about his ties to Charles Dyer.
—He wears an eyepatch now because bad hygiene caused him to lose his eye prosthetic.

Most of all, she thinks it’s unlikely that Rhodes would have green-lighted the coordinated attack on the Capitol unless he had received assurances that Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act.
I am especially grateful that @That_Girl_Tasha was willing to spend an hour and 45 minutes with me combing through the Oath Keepers history. I hope you all find it enlightening. (There’s a video of the full interview at the end.)
