Ex-Las Vegas Detective Leads Oath Keepers Spinoff Advocating 'Race War'

Robert Kinch, now heading a Utah-based militia, was exposed by an infiltrator for extremist rhetoric and stockpiling weapons.

  • Robert Kinch, a former Las Vegas police detective, leads Oath Keepers USA, a spinoff of the far-right militia linked to the January 6 Capitol attack.
  • An infiltrator provided evidence of Kinch's extremist activities, including advocating for a 'race war' and stockpiling weapons and survival supplies in his Utah home.
  • Kinch's controversial past includes inflammatory Facebook posts, including calls for civil conflict, and a photo pointing a gun at a commemorative plate of Barack Obama.
  • Despite his rhetoric, Kinch remained in law enforcement until 2016, raising concerns about extremist affiliations within police departments.
  • Experts warn that Donald Trump's return to the presidency could embolden far-right groups like Oath Keepers to expand their influence and activities.
