     "I think it would be hard if George Washington came back from the dead and he chose Abraham Lincoln as his vice-president, I think it would have been very hard for them to beat me.”

     Yes, he actually thinks he could've beaten a zombie, cross centennial ticket consisting of Washington and Lincoln.

  "Days after the Capitol assault, Copeland—who once deserted the U.S. Army —lauded 'REVOLUTION' in messages to Rogers and fantasized about drinking Red Bulls, and grabbing his tactical gear and weapons, according to court documents.
