Well, you actually living in AZ gives your media argument a little more weight. It will be interesting to see how this plays out from here. Hopefully, there will be some sort of response from Simcox.
Someone upthread may have answered this already, but do you know if Simcox and Gilchrist are on the outs completely?
Have they split the MM into two factions?
There are about 4 or 5.
See this one from the LA Slimes.

It's already played out. It's a hit piece from the liberal media; it took the ABC15 team 4 months to find half a dozen disgruntled Minutemen; it got zero attention in the local media; and Simcox did what I would have done, ignored it.
