As far-right protesters stormed the Oregon legislature yesterday, an Infowars host cheered them on and vilified police responding, saying that “a certain number of these officers, they've signed on to the Democrats, folks. They've signed over and they've become the new Nazis.”
Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that the protesters, who were interrupting a special session to consider a COVID-19 relief bill, were calling on legislatures “to reopen the state economy and end the restrictions aimed at curbing the coronavirus,” and some had firearms and bear spray; it also reported that the contingent was organized by the violent far-right group Patriot Prayer, which has ties to white nationalism. Some of the protesters demanded the arrest of Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, and there are clips of protesters apparently assaulting journalists:
While guest-hosting the December 21 broadcast of The Alex Jones Show’
OWEN SHROYER (HOST): You know, we are really on the verge of the American Revolution 2.0, 1776 meets 2021 in so many different ways. And the system is rigged against us in all walks of life, many of which you don't even realize until you battle them. Right now, though, in Oregon, and — do we have a live feed of this, guys? Yes. Is this live right now or is this a replay? OK, so we are live right now, the Oregon State Capitol building, where dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of patriots are trying to take the capitol right now.
Yes, you heard me right. They have the capitol shut down and it looks like either the National Guard or somebody there protecting it. And patriots in Oregon have decided they're taking the capitol building. . . This is incredible. I mean, folks, you're looking at the beginning of an American Revolution right now.
Do you understand that? We the people will go through you if we have to. We don't want to. We would much rather you just get out of the way or join our ranks. But the Democrats are using these law enforcement officers as a human meat shield.
And so. Oh, my gosh. This is incredible. And you know what, I don't want any harm to come to these officers, but at the same time, I'm cheering on these patriots to do whatever they have to do. Because this is a battle for America and it's on.
So let me tell you, whatever happens in Oregon today is going to happen in every single state in the next 30 days. This is huge. We're going to continue to monitor this situation. I stand and I salute these patriots in Oregon. Take your capitol back! Be the voice! Be the leaders!
