    Default This surprised me

    Ammon Bundy is quitting the militia, he split with them on immigration and Trump.

    To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — but he has basically called them all criminals and said they're not coming in here," Bundy said in the video. "What about individuals, those who have come for reasons of need for their families, you know, the fathers and mothers and children that come here and were willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?"

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    "But the backlash from his supporters was immediate, with many repudiating Bundy for his views. Followers who had traveled to his father's ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada, in 2014 during an armed standoff with federal agents over unpaid cattle grazing fees said they regretted doing so. Others claimed Bundy was being paid by left-wing "globalists" to switch sides. Some told him they wished he was dead, or that militias had never supported his family.

    "Bundy was shocked by the swift reaction."

    Wow, really? Your followers are insane gun-humping wanna-be patriots who believe every anti-government conspiracy theory extant, and you're shocked that they turned on you because you stopped parroting the party line?

    These guys are not real bright, are they?

    "The time we find ourselves in now that is closest found in history is Germany in the 1930s, and they had a leader that was loved, and it was the same kind of following," he said. "I don't want to say there is that extreme similarity, but it very well could go that way, and people just give up their thinking, their rights, and they give up their government because they were so willing to follow him."

    Other militia leaders who had previously rallied to Bundy's side have called him in recent days to privately offer support and protection, he said, after his family received threats over the Facebook video. Some, Bundy said, told him they agreed with his views critical of Trump but did not want to air their opinions publicly for fear of facing a similar backlash.

    "I think they have their leader," he said. "I think, you know, President Trump is clearly their leader, and I think wherever he tells them to go, they'll go."

    Bundy? Is that the guy the Government shot and killed using the old 'He went for a gun' excuse. Ah yes. The PC Fascists LOVED watching that guy get executed.
