A Texas man charged with participating in the deadly Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot by supporters of former President Donald Trump threatened his teenage son and daughter with violence if they reported him to police, according to federal investigators.

Guy Reffitt, of Wylie, Texas, faces five federal criminal charges, including bringing guns to the Capitol and using physical force and the threat of physical force against his children to stop them from providing information to investigators.

The 18-year-old son told the New York Times that Reffitt told him: "You're a traitor. And you know what happens to traitors. Traitors get shot." Defense lawyer William Welch told the judge that Reffitt wants to go forward with a trial beginning Nov. 15 even though the prosecution said it is still going through mountains of evidence.

Not surprised at all, pretty much all these goon types are domestic abusers.

Of course he did.

Because his children committed voter fraud and voted for Biden somehow? What is the bottom limit of where these terrorists will stoop to?

Not a surprise. Ultimately these people's notions of 'freedom' it to be free to bully the people in their lives without account.
