Young Man Turns His Father In To FBI For Participating In The Capitol Insurrection
Chris Cuomo had a real patriot on his show on Friday night - the son of one of the violent insurrectionists. And even more moving was that this young man, Jackson Reffitt, turned his dad in after he threatened the lives of the family IF they turned him in! Cuomo started off by quoting the FBI documents, which stated that the guy (Reffitt) told his own son and daughter: "If you turn me in you're a traitor. You know what happens to traitors. Traitors get shot."
Well, his 18-year old son, fearing for his safety and the safety of others, decided to turn his father in to the FBI. Here is how he explained that decision:
CUOMO: Now this wasn't just one conversation. Help people understand the context. Like for how long have you been watching your father change? What seemed to be the influence on him? What seemed to be that change?
REFFITT: I wish I could tell you exactly what but it's been definitely over the past four years that it has grown and just snow balled into what my dad has become now. He's still my father but he's changed a lot.
CUOMO: How so?
