Rocky Hardie said he didn't believe Reffitt would act on his talk of dragging lawmakers out of the Capitol and replacing them with people who would “follow the Constitution.”
– The first person to be tried in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was a Texas militia member who advocated for physically removing and replacing “corrupt” members of Congress as he drove to Washington, D.C., a former group member testified Friday, March 4.
He also is charged with obstructing justice for allegedly threatening his children if they reported him to law enforcement after the riot. Reffitt “lit the match that started the fire” when a mob charged at police officers guarding the building and was “the tip of this mob’s spear,” Nestler said. Prosecutors say Reffitt played a leadership role when he and other rioters charged at police officers on the west side of the Capitol, but he isn’t accused of entering the building. He retreated after an officer pepper-sprayed him in the face, according to prosecutors.
