Stewart Rhoades, the leader of the Oath Keepers who once pretended to be a veteran, is trying to imitate his hero, Donald Trump, who once pretended to be a president. Both are facing court cases for their crimes, Trump for stealing classified documents and Rhodes for leading a coup against the United States government. Rhodes is finding out, however, that his hero is being granted more privileges than he is.

Rhodes recently tried to request a special master in his court case, just as Trump did for his. Although Trump found a judge in his case to approve that request, an approval that may not hold up on appeal, Rhodes’ request for the same has been denied. It took only a handful of hours for the denial to be handed down by the court.
According to The Hill:
‘Rhodes has repeatedly asked the judge to delay his trial, arguing he has had less time to prepare than the other defendants and he has been sent to four different jails that each had obstacles hindering his preparation.’
Rhodes will appear in court on September 26 to face charges for seditious conspiracy, a felony which can result in serious consequences. Despite a request for a stand-alone trial, Rhodes will be judged while standing next to others who committed the same crime during the attack on the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
Twitter had no sympathy for the fake veteran who tried to overthrow the government. Read some of their comments below:
