the orlando sentinel says this about moms for liberty. this he deserve the hate tag quoteing the law center was correct saying they align themselves with hate and anti government groups, the produced boys moms of liberty are no better than the groups they are partnering with, domestic terrorist organizations. i was at the moms for liberty conference we talked about it i think a week ago in philadelphia and i had demonic psychotic people chasing me down the street. i had my nine month old or maybe he s seven months old, he s my sixth kid but i can t remember how old he is but he s kind of small and he was on my chest and they were chasing me down the street yelling at me that they were going to take him because i was a bigot. these people are the extremists. these are the demons and the folks the fbi should be paying attention to. and the philadelphia police at the summit, they were facing towards the protesters, towards
terrorism is. that is what they are doing. that is what their platform is for. a lot of times the oath keepers, this is what i currently teach at the college level, a lot of times the oath keepers are associated as being anti government. but it s more than that. they ascribe to a new world order, which is the replacement of the regime with a totalitarian regime. it s somewhat racist and antisemitic. we have to remember what their core values are and start looking at classifying these groups as domestic terrorist organizations. can i just push back a second. to your point that, listen, any group is vulnerable. we re not talking about any group. we re not saying that the oath keepers are going after teachers to recruit. we re talking about the military, law enforcement, and first responders. what is it about those organizations that they would be pro anti government, racist
