Pardoned Jan. 6 defendant accused of threatening D.C. judges: The Georgia man, who was previously charged with threatening former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, was again arrested for alleged threats to judges. - "Meredith, who was a devoted follower of the radical QAnon ideology, drove toward the nation’s capital from Colorado on Jan. 6, 2021, with a cache of guns, 2,500 rounds of ammunition and high-capacity magazines. On that drive, court records show, he repeatedly texted his family and friends ominous sentiments. One message said he was 'gonna collect a … ton of Traitors heads.'"

Tragically, Watson later abandoned this insight—he became an arch racist and anti-Semite. The bigger tragedy is that more than a century later, a major political party is still trying to make this scam work."
