Oath Keepers’ Stewart Rhodes Breaks With MAGA Over Iran War, Plans Mar-a-Lago Pardon Bid

He cites Israeli influence on U.S. policy as the reason for his split from the movement.

Overview

  • Guest-hosting Alex Jones’s show, Rhodes said he is “no longer MAGA” because of Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran.
  • Rhodes alleged Israeli intelligence and what he called “the influence of Zionism” shape U.S. decision-making, which he rejects.
  • He recast himself as an “America-only patriot” and “Christian nationalist,” describing divisions on the political right.
  • He said he will travel to Mar-a-Lago on Friday, at the invitation of the Palm Beach Republican Party chair, to ask President Trump for a full pardon.
  • Rhodes pledged to keep criticizing Trump’s Iran and Israel approach even if it costs him clemency, noting his Jan. 6 conviction and previously commuted sentence.
