William Skinner, son of W. Lewis Skinner, a police officer who was killed in the line of duty by ‘Republic of New Africa’. A militant black secessionist group, who in the late 60’s and early 70’s, sought to takeover the southern United States in hopes of creating the ‘Republic of New Africa’. Skinner, in the interview, slammed Rep. Bennie Thompson, Chairman of the January 6 Commission and the House Committee on Homeland Security, for his ties to group, who during their time in operation, threatened the United States with ‘guerrilla warfare’ and killed police officers.
