Looks like the 'Cowboys For Trump' founder and now-convicted felon, Couy Griffin, will be cleaning out his desk as Otero County Commissioner AND hanging up his Stetson for any future elected office, since he was branded an Insurrectionist by the federal judge in his case for his part in participating in the January 6th INSURRECTION (per the judge's determination). He got himself kicked out of office and is now barred from holding any future elected office.
It is interesting to note that it has been promised that this will NOT be the last use of the 1869 law--originally enacted to prevent ex-Confederates from holding elected office--in weeding out "INSURRECTIONISTS", as the group that brought the lawsuit that pried Griffin out of his comfy County Commissioner office plans to use it against other like-minded MAGA folks.
Justice may not always be swift but this is a preview of more that is to come....
