OTERO COUNTY, New Mexico -- Otero County Commissioner and 'Cowboys for Trump' co-founder Couy Griffin was among those assembled on the steps to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 when a riot broke out that left five people dead.
Now, Griffin is vowing to return on inauguration day despite federal officials telling people not to come to the nation's capital and the deployment of tens of thousands of armed National Guard troops.
Griffin said Thursday at the Otero County Commissioners meeting that he, too, will be armed. He said he planned to drive to D.C. with guns in his vehicle because it's his constitutional right to do so ...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. A Sacramento man has resigned from his positions in the California Republican Assembly (CRA), a Republican volunteer organization, after it was learned he participated in the violent, pro-Trump siege on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6.
Jorge Riley served as Corresponding Secretary for the State Board of the California Republican Assembly and President of the Sacramento Chapter, the CRA confirmed. On Thursday, Riley resigned from both positions after photos and video posted on his personal Facebook page showed him actively participating in the raid.
In a video posted on Reddit, Riley is answering questions outside the U.S. Capitol building, which he had reportedly stormed just moments prior.

They have the most stringent gun laws in the country so you'll have no problems when you bring them out of your trunk.
Have fun, fool. You're about to learn some harsh lessons but you're too stupid to see them coming.

(7,434 posts)he's in a heap of trouble. It's also the government's Constitutional right to arrest, detain, prosecute, and incarcerate those who have intent on committing felonies and insurrection. Mr. Griffin seems more passionate than intelligent. He's headed for some major trouble.
