Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes made a visit to Capitol Hill this week, as he continues to fight legal battles surrounding his involvement in the January 6th insurrection. Rhodes, known for his far-right extremist views, has been at the center of ongoing investigations into the events of that day.
Despite facing legal challenges, a judge recently lifted restrictions that had barred Rhodes from entering the District of Columbia, allowing him to freely move about the Capitol once again. This decision has sparked outrage among those who believe he played a significant role in inciting violence that led to the storming of the Capitol.
Rhodes, who founded the Oath Keepers as a group of current and former military, police, and first responders who pledge to defend the Constitution, has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks. Critics argue that his actions on January 6th, where he was reportedly seen directing members of the group around the Capitol complex, go against the oath he claims to uphold.
As the legal battle continues to unfold, many are closely watching Rhodes and the Oath Keepers, questioning their role in the events of January 6th and their continued presence in the political landscape.
