Stewart Rhodes announced last week that he is relaunching the Oath Keepers, his anti-government militia which virtually disappeared after dozens of its members—including Rhodes—were arrested for their roles in the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
This hasn’t stopped Rhodes from asking potential new members and supporters to send money in support of the cause.
But even former Oath Keepers are uninterested.
“No hard feelings, but we are doing what we do and don't spend a lot of time wondering what he's up to.
“Felons are not allowed to be in the Oath Keepers or work with them.”Kelly Meggs, who headed up the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers and was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his part in the attack on the Capitol, says he won’t be joining the relaunched Oath Keepers, as he is concerned about being targeted again when Democrats return to power.
