Heading to the Idaho Capitol for a rogue legislative session with far-right lawmakers opposed to @GovernorLittle's stay at home order where Ammon Bundy has promised to provide "crowd control." A twist: with Ada County's rollback to Stage 3, more than 50 people would be illegal.
Packed gallery. Few masks, zero social distancing.
I count 14 legislators so far but there are other meetings happening in the building.
This is happening in Ada County, which is in the midst of a huge spike in COVID-19 cases. None of the legislators are wearing masks and they pulled their chairs together for zero distancing. #idpol
Outside before, Ammon Bundy, leader of the Malheur occupation, said the state risks violence if it continues with emergency orders.
Rep. Heather Scott, who was named in a domestic terrorism report, just said we’re close to a second civil war. #idpol
Lotta COVID denial among the legislators. Questioning numbers, WHO conspiracy.
That’s a wrap but ... they didn’t vote on anything. Just read a proclamation at the beginning and talked. #idpol
To update my earlier tweet. Total of 15 representatives took to the floor, though I'm pretty sure (outgoing) Rep. Bryan Zollinger was pacing around on the phone in the background behind the glass doors that lead to the chambers. He never came to the floor though. #idpol
House Reps attending the, well, whatever it was: Heather Scott, Tim Remington, Vito Barbieri, Judy Boyle, Chad Christensen, Brent Crane, Terry Gestrin, Priscilla Giddings, Christy Zito, Mike Kingsley, Ron Mendive, Dorothy Moon, Tammy Nichols, Paul Shepherd and Tony Wisniewski.
FYI, for the what-about trolls: COVID-19 is absolutely a concern for protests as well. However, at the last rally I didn't see a single person without a mask and there was some distancing, though not perfect. Also, it was outdoors, as opposed to this.
