Supports January 6 Insurrectionists
Mr. Shurtleff is the co-founder of Camp Constitution (Sponsored by The John Birch Society)
He also supports the cause of Jan. 6 insurrectionists The group chartered six buses to transport about 300 people to D.C. that day.
In strange contrast, Hal Shurtleff also believes the insurrection wasn’t led by Trump supporters but was instead “a Soros-funded false flag act to distract attention from massive election fraud and a stolen election.” The post also suggests that in the aftermath multiple police officers didn’t die by suicide but instead were killed as part of the conspiracy cover-up.
