FreeRepublic gets a mention in this interview!
(28:00 mins in)
He says Oathkeepers started on here.
I’d say No.
Oathkeepers started in March 2009 when Obama was President. If Oathkeepers got its start here on Free Republic, there would be threads touting FR’s role in its creation between 2009 and 2016 when Trump was elected. So far I can’t find anything other than this thread giving FR any credit.
