"I'm tired of waiting": Oath Keepers grew frustrated with Trump days ahead of the Capitol attack, texts show
CBSN
An FBI special agent's testimony in the Oath Keepers' seditious conspiracy trial revealed that members of the far-right militia became increasingly impatient while waiting for then-President Donald Trump to deputize his supporters and stop the joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes.
"Either Trump gets off his [a**] and uses the Insurrection Act to defeat the ChiCom puppet coup or we will have to rise up in insurrection (rebellion) against the ChiCom puppet Biden," Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes wrote in a December 2020 text message, falsely claiming President Joe Biden's victory was the result of a plot by the Chinese Communist Party.
Though Trump never tried to invoke the act, Rhodes and other Oath Keepers anticipated that the former president would do so in order to disrupt congressional proceedings affirming Mr. Biden's electoral victory. That winter, Rhodes had written a letter to Trump urging him to invoke the act, which would enable the president to use the military and militias for civilian law enforcement in order to help him remain in power after his term expired.
