Chris Simcox was a nobody until, for a little while at least, he wasn’t.It may be hard to remember now, but there was a time when Simcox was a national figure. Back when he led the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, and organized armed patrols along the Mexican border. Back when he was invited to talk on national television, and appeared on CNN and Fox News. Back when he commanded the attention of governors and lawmen and members of Congress, and even allowed himself to dream about a seat of his own in the U.S Senate. All that seems a long time ago.
