Militia Group Threatens Journalists while hosting GOP Candidate Event

At an event yesterday intended to showcase the candidates whom the new conservative political group FEC United is supporting, founder Joe Oltmann threatened to dox journalists who report negatively about the group.

Oltmann claims FEC United has identified Antifa members “that are actually journalists writing stories about us.”

“I’ll put them on billboards,” he told the crowd of Republican candidates and supporters, which took place at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. “We’re coming for you… If you’re part of the media and you write something bad about us, better take your byline off it.”

FEC United is working closely with the Republican Party both nationally and here in Colorado. The event, billed as the FEC United Final Countdown Members Meeting, featured videos messages from both Donald Trump Jr. and Colorado GOP Vice Chair Kristi Burton Brown.

Statehouse GOP officials and candidates in attendance included Rep. Lori Saine of Firestone; Rep. Mark Baisley of Colorado Springs; Lynn Gerber, who’s running for a Jefferson County Senate seat; and Bob Roth, a candidate for an Arapahoe County senate seat. Republican state House candidates in attendance included: Vanessa DeMott, Tony Caputo, Larry Braig, and Jonathan Woodley. Congressional candidate Casper Stockham also attended.
