Granbury Lawyer Kellye SoRelle Says She Is Now Acting President Of The Oath Keepers
GRANBURY, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) An attorney from Granbury said on Friday, January 14 that she is now acting as President of the Oath Keepers after the extreme right-wing groups leader was arrested yesterday.
Stewart Rhodes was arrested in Little Elm yesterday on seditious conspiracy charges related to the January 6 capital attack.
Kellye SoRelle, a family lawyer from Granbury, issued a statement to CBS News earlier today, stating that she would serve as the loose-knit groups leader until Rhodes was released and proclaimed his innocence.
I am currently acting as President of Oath Keepers in lieu of Mr. Rhodes until he is released. He is not guilty of any of the outlandish charges and the organization stands with Mr. Rhodes. I would like for the political parties and politicians to stop dividing the people and using us to promote agendas for their own personal financial gain, SoRelle said.
Her statements echoed those made by one of Rhodes lawyers, Jon Moseley, who blamed his clients arrest on political pressure from Democrats.
