Stewart Rhodes' Estranged Wife: Conviction Is 'First Time He's Ever Faced Consequences'
“This is the first time he’s ever faced consequences ― ever. Really, it’s the first time he’s ever been held accountable for anything he’s ever done,” she said.
Adams shares six children with Rhodes; she filed for divorce in 2018 after more than two decades of marriage. In previous interviews with news outlets, Adams alleged that Rhodes spent Oath Keeper money on indulgences for himself and was abusive toward her and the children, three of whom spoke out against their father earlier this year.
While she said she was pleased with the trial’s outcome, Adams warned that Rhodes was already likely looking ahead to 2024, planning to ask for a pardon if Donald Trump is elected president once again.
Adams explained how she wants people of every political stripe to understand that her estranged husband is not the man he portrays himself to be.
“He abused my kids, he abused me. He’s completely amoral. ... I do want them to understand that, too, so that he can’t just come back.”
He lost his eye, 19 years ago, when he dropped his .22 caliber pistol and shot himself in the eye. He does have a prosthetic eyeball, but he chooses to wear an eye patch, because it plays to the type of crowds at the political rallies he attends.
