We’ve copied and pasted it without editing. Idaho Reports reached out to Jackson and received this statement shortly after the thread was deleted. Later Monday afternoon McGeachin deleted all the posts and the video and replaced it with this statement: The video can still be found on Parker’s Facebook page. The video compares the 1 st and 2 nd Amendments, and encourages people to be as disciplined with their words as they are with their firearms, stating “Stop shooting the people around you and start shooting the target.”
Parker is best known for his involvement in the Bundy ranch standoff. McGeachin then posted a video from Eric Parker. “My ‘thank you’ was in response to his support of Trump and my campaigns.” “I hope the voters in Idaho know that I believe that our country should celebrate diversity,” McGeachin told Idaho Reports in an email. Idaho Reports then contacted McGeachin, asking “Does Janice McGeachin support the sentiment ‘I’m proud to be white again?’” The thread played out like this for almost 24 hours. THIS IS IDAHO! GO RED WAVE! #MAGA or #GTFO. McGeachin did not respond or thank DeLeon, but Jackson did saying “She clearly doesn’t need your vote OR ANY OF YOUR LIBERSL BUDDIES. The first objection came from Robbie DeLeon: “Janice McGeachin Why should anyone who isn’t white vote for you after seeing these comments? If you want to represent our state you need to represent everyone, not just white conservatives.” McGeachin saying “Thank you Janice McGeachin, with your leadership we’ll take back this state!” A comment about white nationalism, a Bundy sympathizer, outrage from centrists and a candidate trying to keep everyone happy pulled the conversation into an ideological circus tent.īob Jackson posted “I’m proud to be white again!” to which McGeachin responded, “Thank you Bob!” The post linked to an Idaho Politics Weekly story, and echoed a general Republican talking point about why Trump is popular: “He is keeping the promises he made to the voters…”Ī few days later, the conversation went off the rails. Last week, Republican lieutenant governor candidate Janice McGeachin made a post on Facebook.
