Rhodes' son fears Oath Keeper will be a threat 'as long as he's loose on the streets'

Stewart Rhodes's estranged son fears for his family's safety now that the Oath Keeper has been pardoned for his part in the J6 riots by President Donald Trump.

"Stewart is going to be an existential threat to my family's safety and to the safety of this country as long as he is loose on the streets, and that's not going to change," Adams said, adding, "the best case scenario is that Stewart stays well away from my family."

Adams produced a documentary on life growing up with the Oath Keeper called King of the Apocalypse, in which he talks about his own indoctrination into the movement.

Alex Witt of MSNBC asked him, "You de-radicalized you say, though you could have easily become the leader of another right wing group. What was the process of de-radicalization like, and for others, being radicalized? How can someone on the outside step in to help it?"

"The most important thing is that if people are being directly — if they feel attacked — that is when they will put up all of their defenses and push back harder. That's where you get the deflection and the 'whataboutisms' that you see in so many online arguments, in particular, where people are just not available to be persuaded. And I was like that for a very long time," Adams said.

"What happened was, factually, that cracks began to appear between what I knew to be true and the version of reality that I was getting inside the ideological bubble. And especially after I started to realize that Stewart was not the savior he called himself, or even a really a good person or any kind of father, the more I started to see similarities between Stewart Rhodes and Donald Trump, and that very much concerned me. Because as I started to lose faith in Stewart, it became very worrying to me that the same kind of personality could be in the White House."
