Couy Griffin, an elected official in New Mexico who helped found the group Cowboys for Trump, is headed to trial in Washington next week on a charge related to the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He plans to show up for court on horseback.

Seven of the 10 defendants were accused of entering the Capitol building, and at least five had expressed doubts about the legitimacy of the presidential election. False claims about election security have become prevalent in Republican circles, and the outcome of Griffin’s trial could create political problems for other elected officials ensnared in the massive prosecution.and is one of three elected officials responsible for management, administration and budget.

He rejects Biden’s 2020 election and believes Trump to be the real winner, despite a lack of evidence and statements by elected officials, local elections leaders andGriffin voted in January with his county commission to hire a private contractor to review the 2020 presidential election in Otero County — where Trump won with a 62% share — with door-to-door canvassing that has triggered concerns about voter intimidation. The review is still being conducted.

He doesn’t deny that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021; he admits he entered a barricaded area to reach an outdoor balcony of the Capitol on the afternoon without going inside the building. U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden ruled that prosecutors must call a witness to testify who has first-hand knowledge of Pence’s whereabouts during the attack if they want to try Griffin on a charge of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds. Earlier, McFadden rejected Griffin’s accusations of misguided and discriminatory prosecution.

When will these far-right wing nuts stop and go away. Bigger things going on in the world. I feel sorry for the horse.

Well it’s does making hanging easier…just ask Jake Spoon…

Wonder why NONE of cult/klan are scared or worried about ANYTHING?

Will he ride it all the way from New Mexico? I'd bet he'd have some serious saddle sores

One horses ass on top of another would seem strange in any other place but Congress

I always feel bad for the animals of bleepholes like this, I don't know.

giddy up!

You just can’t make this shit up. Wtf is wrong with our country? I’ve lost hope

DC Police be like...

Looks like an all hat, no cattle kind of cowboy.

'He plans to show up for court on horseback' Great - a jackass riding a horse. You don't see that every day.

YikesYikes300 Idiot!

Someone already did that in the previous admin. Yawn.

Well isn’t that a cute little stunt.

Real horse shit

That's right, have fun in court

That's good because he'll need his horse shit

AmyJeanTyler He should show up riding on Sam Elliott

No shortage of fools in maga world. Their foolishness wouldn't matter if they weren't so busy trying to harm people. Disinformation works.

He can show up to prison on horseback for all I care. My family has lived in Texas for generations and I know when someone is all hat and no cattle.

awesome - arrest him for another thing

I hope they take the horse from him on the grounds of animal abuse. No horse should have to go through that crap.

Well they can prosecute his horse too

Might I suggest riding that horse down 267 during rush hour on his way in?

Isn’t that cute, bringing his little horse with him.

That horse will have two asses that day.

That's a long way to ride a horse.
