Capitol rioter Garret Miller says he was following Trump's orders, apologizes to AOC for threat
Source: CNBC
A Texas man charged with invading the Capitol and threatening Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday that he was effectively following then-President Donald Trump’s orders when he joined a mob that stormed Congress on Jan. 6.
Garret Miller also apologized to Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for writing “Assassinate AOC” in a Twitter post. He said he would be willing to testify to Congress or in a trial about the riot.
Miller, 34, had on a social media account also threatened a Capitol Police officer who fatally shot a fellow rioter, saying he planned to “hug his neck with a nice rope,” authorities have said.
The Richardson resident’s apology came as a federal judge in Dallas ordered him detained without bail pending trial, after finding he was both a danger to the community and a flight risk, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.

Consequences. 
Trump and his minions can't throw each other the bus fast enough. Every one of their lawyers is using the "He invited my client to Washington" plea. The idiots themselves are screaming, "Trump called us to action!" Trump is trying to claim he called for peace, and Antifa started it all.
I always thought those right wing loonies would end up eating their own someday. Nobody is ever pure enough for them, there is no honor among thieves, and they'll always be in it for themselves. Bon appetit, MAGAts.
Me? Love watching the unraveling.
