'To be clear: we are not a militia,' the group that calls itself 'Mamalitia' insisted.
"To be clear: we are not a militia, we are a group of women learning skills to be self-sufficient," the statement read, despite the group going by the name"Mamalitia."
The group went on to say that it's"false" to suggest that they are"anti-vaccine" or"involved in politics." "Our members come from all walks of life including families that do vaccinate but support a woman's right to choose. Mamalitia is also apolitical. We have never participated in a protest nor have we had any involvement with political issues," the statement continued.
The group pointed out that the Constitution allows for Americans to own and use guns, saying that the women gather to focus on"food storage, map reading, homeschooling, and survival skills." Despite the group's statement, Aguilar did praise the Proud Boys, which has been described as a far-right extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, during a November demonstration at the State Capitol, according to the"Thank you to the Proud Boys," Aguilar reportedly told a crowd of demonstrators at the time."I've worked with them. I know them. I love them. I trust them. And I trust them so much that they're here protecting you.
