On Friday, Oath Keepers issued a promise to protect electors from left-wing terrorists who have issued death threats in an attempt to stage a coup d’etat against President-elect Donald Trump.
“Oath Keepers is hereby issuing a standing offer of volunteer protection to any of the Electoral College Electors who may feel threatened or in danger from leftist radicals attempting to coerce them into changing their vote as Electors,” Stewart Rhodes said.
Electors who seek protection can contact the organization by email at electors@oathkeepers.org, the notice said.
“Electors are encouraged to initiate contact with us through the above oathkeepers.org email address only and to be wary of anyone contacting them through other means, claiming to be from Oath Keepers. If in doubt, email us to verify,” Rhodes added.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The message continued:
All communications and requests from electors will be kept in the strictest confidence, and only vetted, trusted, qualified Oath Keepers members will be dispatched to provide security.
That protection can be overt or covert, or a combination of those two postures, at the discretion of the Elector after consultation with our security team leaders, and will consist of our unpaid volunteer retired police officers and experienced combat veterans with personal security detail training and experience. We can, and will, provide this protection from now through their vote on December 19. 2016, and even thereafter if they still feel threatened by terrorists seeking reprisal and punishment for the Electors not bending to their will.
CALL TO ACTION: Due to the gravity of the threat to our Republic from terrorists attempting to steal the election through coercion, this is also a call to action to our state and local leaders, and in particular to our Community Preparedness Team (CPT) leaders, to prepare security details in each of the targeted states to be on standby for immediate deployment if a request for protection comes in from an Elector.
Rhodes explained why the call to action is necessary:
In the wake of President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory on Election Night, Republican Electors across the country have received an increasing wave of harassment and threats, in the form of phone calls, emails, messages on social media, and even in-person visits to their homes, by leftists who seek to pressure those Electors into changing their votes from Trump to Clinton when the Electoral College meets on December 19, 2016. Such harassment and threats intensified after anti-Trump groups published online the names, addressed, phone numbers, emails, gender, and race of Republican Electors in states that went for Trump.
As we reported earlier, one Michigan elector said he was directly threatened with death, but intends to vote for Trump anyway. Electors in other states have reportedly received threats and some have said their personal information has been made public in an effort to intimidate them.
Meanwhile, President Obama has said he won’t call on protesters to calm down.
“Oath Keepers has, in the past, successfully protected both homes and businesses from the deadly threat of terrorist arsonists during the Ferguson riots (there were apartments above the shops we protected, with families living in them). The arsonists swore they would burn the buildings to the ground, killing all inside,” Rhodes said. “We stopped them.”
