Organizer of right-wing trucker's group says he will take up arms against government [View all]

Right-wing truckers’ organizer: ‘We will defend our nation to the absolute death’

One of the loudest figures in the upcoming “Ride For The Constitution” truckers’ strike expressed his support for an armed overthrow of the U.S. government, while organizers boasted online about winning support from “civilian militia” groups.

“There is a select few of us — we’ll call them Three Percenters — that will take the next logical step to stop our domestic enemies,” Santilli said on the show. “It will be stopped. I’m going to say this: this is not a threat. We will defend our nation to the absolute death.”

According to Media Matters, the term “Three Percenters” is a reference to a right-wing extremist belief that 3 percent of armed gun owners can execute an overthrow of the government.

“If we do not rise up this week, peacefully, there is going to be Three Percenters who I will also join, to make it not so peacefully,” Santilli said on his show. “That’s what’s going to happen. If the American public is not listening to what we’re saying right now, we have this peaceful opportunity to do things, we can do it, but you need to at least not be lethargic and sit there and let them commit terrorism against you.”
