Judge bars Cowboys for Trump leader from son over posts
Like a rhinestone cowboy...
RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) — The leader of the New Mexico group Cowboys for Trump has been barred from in-person visits with his son following social media posts that have generated threats and for refusing to abide by COVID-19 mask requirements, a state district judge ruled.
District Judge Mary Rosner ruled July 14 that Couy Griffin can only see his son on Facetime calls after he ignored orders to remove social media photos of his son at Cowboys for Trump events. The judge said Griffin also repeatedly has defied health orders to put a mask on his son at public events and has openly said he will continue to do so.
Instead, Griffin has participated in “manipulation” in a custody dispute by asking his son to “pray that his mother do the right thing,” Rosner wrote.
“Mr. Griffin’s actions have been selfish and place the minor child at risk,” in addition to his ex-wife’s unborn child, Rosner said.
