Anyone watch the Oath Keepers segment on "60 Minutes"?

It was interesting to hear the Arizona Chapter criticize Stewart Rhodes and his Chapter for such a dumb act. The Oath Keepers were going after each other. Some thought is was "unpatriotic" to invade the Capitol. One said that ten Oath Keepers led the assault. It looked like a lot more than ten aggressors marching into the Capitol.

Also, it was interesting that they never mentioned Trump in the story, as far as I heard?

It appeared to be a story pinning all the blame on the Oath Keepers and attempting to make them look like "scapegoats", at the same time?

What did anyone else glean from that story?

That could change after the entire country watched it on 60 Minutes.

Blaming BLM for the attack. These people are screwed up Q types. I applaud 60 minutes for the stories they have been running. I see trump as more of a symptom. The people who support him scare the shit out of me.

for most of them .... the leaders and most dangerous ..... get 65 years. #LockUpTheOathKeepers and they won't terrorize and recruit more stupid terrorists. We have to prevent these TRAITORS from killing innocent people and destroying our nation


#LockUpTheOathKeepers .... THROW THEM ALL IN THE SLAMMER.

This is my fantasy ..... Send them all to the moon. Create a HUGE LIVING WAREHOUSE. Give these Traitors to Earth a place to live out their lives, with food, necessary items. Even give them luxury stuff. MAKE IT SO !!!

AND THE DUDES DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO RETURN TO EARTH. It's a one way journey.
