Chapter 6.3 - The Oath Keepers: “He Called Us All to the Capitol and Wants Us to Make it Wild!!!” (The January 6th Report)

This section describes another organization involved in the January 6 events: The Oath Keepers. The group called for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act throughout December 2020, arguing that the President needed to do so to “Stop the Steal.”  In a message to the Oath Keepers, group founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes wrote: “We need to push Tump [sic] to do his duty. If he doesn’t, we will do ours." Rhodes believed that the President could empower militias like the Oath Keepers to enforce law and order after other Americans refused to accept President Trump’s rule.
