The Oath Keepers have traditionally been anti-government but since Trump came to power have cosied up to his administration.
The armed rightwing militia group The Oath Keepers will provide security and escorts for attendees of a large rally for US President Donald Trump in Minnesota on Thursday, a move that ostensibly highlights the growing coziness between the government and hardline militias.
“The lightweight mayor is hurting the great police and other wonderful supporters,” Trump wrote of Frey on Twitter earlier this week, adding: “72,000 ticket requests already. Dump Frey and Omar! Make America Great Again!” The post was in response to a call for an anti-capitalist bloc rally at the counterprotest against the Trump campaign event, first posted on the anarchist news site It’s Going Down.
The Minneapolis Police Department and the White House did not reply to TRT World’s request for a comment.According to the SPLC, the Oath Keepers is “is based on a set of baseless conspiracy theories about the federal government working to destroy the liberties of Americans”.
