Defying his own son, Cliven Bundy rallies Oregon militants to ‘fight’ to the end

Cliven Bundy, father of militant leader Ammon Bundy, defied his own son on Thursday and called on armed occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to stay and fight.

Following a traffic stop that ended with the death of LaVoy Finicum and the arrests of Ammon Bundy and other anti-government militants, Ammon Bundy sent a message through his lawyer that it was time for the occupation to end.

“To those remaining at the refuge, I love you. Let us take this fight from here. Please stand down. Go home and hug your families,” Ammon Bundy advised in a statement. “This fight is ours for now in the courts. Please go home.”

Cliven Bundy, however, disagreed with his son, and called on the remaining militants to fight on.

at least two of them feel about the situation now.
I'm thinking Bundy's influence may have waved it's last flag. At least for now. This is what the officials were waiting for but it didn't "get real" for the bundy criminals until a couple nights ago and now that the rubber is hitting the road..they are wanting the get the fk out ...lol

It is sad that Cliven Bundy would tell people to stay at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and fight when he is not there. It is also sad that these people of foolish enough to listen to him and put their lives on the line while he sits at home in comfort. If Cliven Bundy really believes in what the militia people are doing why is he not there and why was he not there from the beginning. It is beginning to seem like Cliven Bundy just likes attention and being able to tell others what to do.
