The Three Percenters appear to be domestic terrorists.



Illinois Republican's husband denies ties to militia group despite truck decal

EXCERPT...

Miller has said that he did not know what the logo meant and denied being involved with the group. In a statement to the Daily Beast, which first reported on a photo of Miller’s truck parked at the Capitol, the Republican state lawmaker said he was displaying a “cool” sticker given to him by an “Army friend.”

He later said in a statement from his office that the sticker was given to his son by a family friend who said that it was representative of “patriotism and love of country,” the Washington Post reported.

But, in a video posted to his Facebook page last year, the Three Percenters logo can be seen on a banner behind Miller at a rally in Springfield, Ill., ABC News noted. An Illinois group that helped organize the rally uses a logo featuring imagery from the Three Percenters, according to the outlet.

The Three Percenters is an anti-government militia group named after the inaccurate claim that only three percent of American colonists fought against the British during the revolutionary war.

From the ABC News story mentioned above...



But this isn't the first time he has helped promote the Three Percenters. In videos posted online, including one video posted to his own Facebook page, he stood in front of a Three Percenters banner -- and a QAnon sign -- last year as he railed against Democrats.

"We can be thankful [that] neither 'Crooked Hillary' or 'Creepy, Sleepy Joe' will ever be the president of the United States," he said in the video, which was shot at a May 2020 rally in Springfield, Illinois, where he and many others protested state measures to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. "We can be thankful … that we have a great American patriot in the White House that is determined to make America great again."

An Illinois-based group that helped organize the rally uses a logo that features "Three Percenters" imagery. The group promised followers ahead of the rally that "some big speakers" would be participating.

In another video of his remarks posted online, Chris Miller declared, "We have identified our domestic enemies as Nancy Pelosi."

Miller appears to be another stupid GQP greedhead, but he’s nastier. Like zip cuff Democratic leaders and lead them off nasty. And his nasty wife is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
