These Women Helped Incite the Capitol Riot. Now They Want to Steal Georgia for Trump.
As attendees made their way into the Save America rally in front of the White House on the morning of Jan. 6, Amy Kremer welcomed them by shouting: “Hello deplorables,” from the stage.
That event, organized by Kremer’s Women for America First group, featured the now-infamous speech from President Donald Trump when he urged followers to march on the U.S. Capitol. Thousands of Trump fans answered that call and proceeded to carry out a violent attack that left five people dead and may have contributed to four police officers present on the day taking their own lives in the months since.
Kremer has denied responsibility for what happened that day, but it was the culmination of a coordinated plan. The former Tea Party activist, together with a group of right-wing and extremist Trump supporters, had spent weeks criss-crossing the country on a 27-city bus tour stoking rage among Trump supporters and urging them to travel to Washington DC on Jan. 6.
Since then, Women for America First, a rebranded relic of the Tea Party movement of the late-2000s, has emerged as one of the leading groups hyping baseless election fraud conspiracies over the last six months, calling Jan. 6 rioters “political prisoners,” and fundraising for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. They’ve also hosted grassroots events across Georgia calling on Trump supporters to stand up and take action, and most recently, called for the recall of Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger.
