1. RELATED: NC Police question right-wing organizer after terrorist attacks on power grid

Police in a North Carolina county say they’re investigating the motive behind coordinated attacks in which multiple electrical substations were vandalized, leaving thousands without electricity — and one right-wing group has been questioned as they celebrate the destruction.

Moore County was suffering widespread power outages Saturday night, and upon investigation, deliberate vandalism was discovered at multiple power substations. Police announced that they were looking into the destruction as a possible criminal act — and at the same time, the leader of a local right-wing group was boasting about the damage.

It isn’t Emily Grace Rainey’s first time being investigated or questioned about her activism. She was still an army officer, though she’d already submitted a letter requesting separation, when she and around 100 others from her county attended the deadly January 6th rally in Washington D.C.

She is one of the several military members who were investigated for potential wrongdoing following that attack.

Her Facebook group, Moore County Citizens for Freedom (MCCF) had planned a protest of a family-friendly drag show that was taking place at a local theater Saturday night, and when the power went out, she suggested it was an act of God.

She also boasted that she knew the truth behind the damage. Her page had previously listed contact information for the event’s sponsors, and encouraged followers with a vague, “You know what to do.”
