Opinion: Let's hope this ruling against 'Cowboys for Trump' founder has a ripple effect.
On Tuesday, A New Mexico judge ordered Otero County Commissioner Cuoy Griffin, better known as the founder of “Cowboys for Trump,” immediately removed from office and barred from seeking future public office for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.For those of us who are tired of waiting for prosecutors to hold accountable Republican-elected officials who participated in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan.
Obviously, Mathew’s ruling does not have the precedential value of a U.S. Supreme Court decision. And obviously, a county commissioner race in New Mexico is not like the race for president of the United States. But the judge’s well-researched decision can and should be cited by others across the country who want to file their own lawsuits to keep insurrectionists off their ballots.
