in-capitol-riot/

An 18-year-old Texas man tipped off the FBI about his father’s role in the
US Capitol riot — and said he’d do it again.

Jackson Reffitt — whose dad, Guy Reffitt, was charged last week in the
Jan. 6 siege — told local outlet Fox4 that he acted out of moral
obligation.

“It was my moral compass … to do what I thought would protect not only my
family, but my dad himself,” he said.

“I would do it again.”

The elder Reffitt, of Wylie, had allegedly threatened his son and
daughter, saying, “If you turn me in, you’re a traitor and you know what
happens to traitors … traitors get shot,” court papers state.

His son told the TV station, “I took that as a threat, but I never thought
he would act upon it.”

Reffitt said his dad is part of a far-right militia group and that he has
embraced increasingly radicalized views over the years.

He was concerned about what would happen when law enforcement came to
arrest his father, saying, “The police could’ve come in at any time, at a
bad time, regardless of the situation and my dad could’ve opened fire.”

Calling the FBI “wasn’t just because I think my dad is aggressive,”
Reffitt said. “I think what he’s been manipulated into thinking is
aggressive.”

He also recalled the moment he learned his father was at the siege.

“I think it was Fox playing, and it was just live screening of riots at
the Capitol, and the rushing in, and my mom said, ‘Your dad is there,'”
Reffitt said.

Guy Reffitt, 48, was tracked down by federal authorities after footage of
him at the Capitol during the riot was played on YouTube and on Fox News
on the day of the siege, according to court papers.

Photos included in an arrest affidavit show him wearing a padded or
tactical-style vest and black helmet with what looks like a GoPro-style
camera attached while at the Capitol.

Investigators found out he had previously posted a comment on a website
for a militia extremist group known as the Texas Freedom Force, according
to the FBI.

When authorities arrested him on Jan. 15, they found an AR-15-style rifle
and a Smith & Wesson pistol, court papers state.

While he hasn’t been able to speak with his dad since the arrest, Jackson
said he wishes that he could.

“I would say I’m sorry, because I don’t feel like I put him in this
situation, but I still feel guilty,” he said.
