Pictured above is me with Gunner Griffin at the FBC in Reserve.
When I awoke this morning I had a text from Couy’s mother! NOT GUILTY!
Cowboys for Trump cofounder Couy Griffin was found not guilty yesterday of a misdemeanor charge of failing to register a political committee at a trial in in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Couy said in a text message to the Associated Press that he felt “blessed to be judged by a jury of peers” in his home community and has “never felt as vindicated.”
It has been a long road for Couy. I pray for peace now. Enough is enough.
Also pray that the ruling that Couy can never run for elected office be overturned. That ruling is purely unconstitutional. That case has me very unsettled. I beleive it is only the second time in U.S. history when a person has been barred from running for public office. Very fishy. New Mexico banishes Trump ally from office for insurrection
Congress last used Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1919 to refuse to seat a socialist Congressman accused of having given aid and comfort to Germany during the First World War, irrespective of the Amnesty Act.
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
I know the hearts of the Griffin family. I know Couy, his Dad and Mom, I have met the whole family. I love them and pray for them all. I have had Couy’s boy, Gunner on my lap praying, a sweet soul!! I met them over 11 years ago when I started to preach at the First Baptist Church in Reserve, NM. The Griffin family played a huge role in getting the Church built back in the 50’s. Couy was the preacher there for a a time.
