Federal authorities continue to churn out criminal complaints against individuals who allegedly took part in the storming of the Capitol earlier this month. Over the weekend, some familiar faces got wrapped up by the feds.
“Cowboys For Trump” Founder Couy Griffin
Perhaps most recognizable of the group no offense to the others was Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin. Griffin, who’s also an elected commissioner in Otero County, New Mexico, led the mob of Trump supporters in prayer just outside the Capitol building, on the Capitol steps. In a subsequent, and since deleted, Facebook video, he mused about a potential Second Amendment rally at the same location. If such an event were to occur, Griffin said, “There’s going to be blood running out of that building.”
