'Cowboys For Trump' Founder Arrested In D.C. After Vowing To Bring Guns To Inauguration

[634-5789]

KEYWORDS: 'COWBOYS' FOR TRUMP. SMH.


A New Mexico county commissioner who heads Cowboys for Trump was arrested Sunday in Washington, D.C., by Capitol Police after vowing to bring back his guns for Inauguration Day.

Couy Griffin was wanted on an arrest warrant after storming the barricades of the Capitol Jan. 6, said authorities. He drove back from his New Mexico home in time for the inauguration Wednesday, a journey he chronicled on Facebook.

Griffin said in a chilling Facebook video clip on “Inside Edition” last Monday that “there’s going to be blood running” from the Capitol when rioters return.

“There will never be a Biden presidency,” he vowed in an interview on the program. “We’re not going to allow it.”

1. They protected his head going into the car. Trump said not to do that...

Oh yeah, that's if the arrested person is black.

[mopinko]

7. i noticed that too.

damn.

[Warpy]

2. It's being heavily reported locally

That lunatic was also an Otero County Commissioner. I sincerely hope they catch a clue there and he's out of a job.

[samnsara]

3. we have 3 county commissioners like that

[Warpy]

10. Most places do

but were they stupid enough to label themselves and then show up in a city with some of the strictest gun control laws in the country with a .357 cannon, boasting to spill blood all over the Capitol?

People are allowed to believe any damned fool thing they want to. This guy was dumb enough to act on it.

4. His job is as an elected official and I would think he has to be recalled. He's a former pastor,

of course.

8. He's a preacher, too.

Couy Griffin believes his experience as pastor of the New Heart Church in Alamogordo will help him administer the needs of the county.

Griffin, a Republican, is running against Democrat Christopher Jones for the District 2 Otero County Commission seat in the November general election.

“Most of my morals and principles do come from my faith,” he said.

Sick of wimpy judges turning violent criminals back out onto streets.
