Texas had more people on the membership rolls of the Oath Keepers — the far-right extremist group that played a key role in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection — than any other state, according to a study released this week.

More than 3,300 Texans have at some point been members of the Oath Keepers, the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism reported Tuesday after parsing through 38,000 names in the anti-government militia's membership data, which was leaked last fall.

Among those Texans are eight elected officials, 33 members of law enforcement, 10 members of the military and seven first responders, according to the ADL's research. The Lone Star State not only had largest number of residents who joined the group, it also had the largest total of individuals among those four professions.

1. So sad that I am just thankful it wasn't FL at the top of the list.

I am sure it's high up, but just glad we're not the most stupidly corrupt group of people. There is now a Boogaloo Boi who lives 2 blocks from me and is flying an all black flag to replace his upside down American flag. Scary!! I know at least one of his neighbors, and think it's now 2 are sympathetic. First one comes, then all the others sneak in like roaches. Ghastly!!!
