Shady group trying to build Trump's wall begs radical militias for help

Over the weekend, the group behind a move to crowdfund a portion of Trump's wall asked heavily armed right-wing militias to come hang out down at the border.
The shady group that is privately building a portion of Trump's unnecessary border wall has found some new allies: right-wing militias.
We Build the Wall (WBTW), the group that engaged in scammy fundraising to build a half-mile of the wall, spent the weekend reaching out to "armed right-wing groups."
Thus far, We Build the Wall has been disreputable and had bungled its wall-building efforts on multiple occasions, but it didn't seem to have veered into radical militia territory. That's changed now.
According to TPM, a Facebook video from Saturday shows a WBTW spokesperson giving Stewart Rhodes, the head of the Oath Keepers, a tour of the building site. The spokesperson, known as "Foreman Mike," explicitly called for right-wing groups to join them. "We're going to have a ceremony here, we'd like any of our Oath Keeper friends to come on in, any of our Three Percenter brothers, all of them."
