Oath Keepers involved in the January 6 attack sought to protect U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, texts show.

In my Maine Writer opinion, it was the former defeated guy Donald Trump that sent salient messages (probably thru a clandestine surrogate) to protect from vigilante harm his right wing physician while he lived in the White House.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In the most violent hour of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, alleged conspirators in the attack who were aligned with the far-right group the Oath Keepers discussed providing security for U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, an Amarillo Republican, according to text messages made public in newly released court documents.

“Ronnie Jackson (TX- Amarillo-Republican) office inside Capitol - he needs OK help. Anyone inside?” texted an unidentified person at 3 p.m., presumably referring to the Oath Keepers as “OK.”

“Hopefully they can help. Dr. Jackson,” another person wrote at 3:03 p.m.

A few minutes later, there was another call to provide help for the Texas congressman.

“Dr. Ronnie Jackson - on the move. Needs protection. If anyone inside cover him,” a person texted at 3:08 p.m. and included a photo that could not be seen from the court documents.

“He has critical data to protect,” the person added. (❓)

At 3:10, Stewart Rhodes, the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, responded to the text citing Jackson and instructed a person to “Give him my cell.”

Rhodes was arrested earlier this year in Little Elm, accused of conspiring with members of his organization and others to oppose the transfer of presidential power by force. ​​

A spokesperson for Jackson said in a statement that the congressman did not know the people texting about him. ("Quack Quack❗"  🦆)
