President Trump’s executive action granting clemency to all of the
January 6th insurrectionists – violent and non-violent alike – has
been met with concern by legal experts and people who have been
studying and reporting on militia groups like the Oath Keepers and
the Proud Boys for years. Kara speaks with Dr. Amy Cooter, director
of research at the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and
Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International
Studies and author of Nostalgia, Nationalism and the US Militia
Movement; investigative reporter Tess Owen who has covered
violent extremist groups, including the J6 protesters extensively;
and Paul Rosenzweig, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy
at the Department of Homeland Security under George W. Bush, who
specializes in issues relating to domestic and homeland security
about the message the pardons send to violent militias, the impact
of social media (and Elon Musk) on far-right extremism, and whether
Trump has the authority to deputize these groups, especially on the
border. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us
