Well, here's another tolerant lefty in elected office.
This ranting and raving lib is now the mayor of Couer d'Alene.
[Warning: Language]
New mayor of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Dan Gookin: “"Christian conservatives are mindless, cult-member morons. They are white, racist supremacists. They can **** themselves and go to hell.” pic.twitter.com/eyvFgsE8uU— I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 (@ImMeme0) November 5, 2025
Here's the local CDA Press:
Longtime Coeur d'Alene City Councilman Dan Gookin ran for mayor on a campaign of providing stronger leadership at City Hall. He'll have the next four years to deliver on that pledge ...
Gookin found a following in his role as a man of the people, opposing tax hikes, vowing to protect neighborhoods and supporting small businesses.
A Christian-hating, anti-conservative, foul-mouthed hater is going to be a "man of the people"?

Leftist almost always lie.
This one followed form by waiting until elected to expose himself.
I thought Rachel Maddow was still at PMSNBC?
What I've read the past couple days is very alarming. Thanks for posting, Red.
God help the people!
This is surprising for that area of Idaho where most residents own at least two ARs., a couple side arms and then multiple hunting rifles.
Almost always???????
It’s their native language.
6th-grade level taunts. No specific policy arguments ever.
Dems and guns are a very bad mix…very bad
That’s all the left has, is hatred for different ideas and juvenile immaturity.
CDL has been californicated for a long time.
California transplant craps on the natives? Not shocked.
They always have that “look”.
But nutzoid Democrats only prevailed in blue states on Tuesday, and therefore everything that happened on that date has no meaning and tells us nothing about 2026 or 2028 just like 2017 told us nothing about 2018 or 2020.
That’s I was told, anyway. What happened wasn’t even close to being limited to “blue” states or areas.
Sure, fast-growing Coeur d’Alene is deteriorating due to a mass influx of undesirables, but anyone who thinks this sort of outcome was inevitable NOW is delusional.
BTW the incumbent who lost (Woody McEvers, who finished 3rd to the hate-filled Democrat; a RINO squish who was on the ballot to split the R vote finished 2nd) last month dared to declare a “Day of Remembrance” for Charlie Kirk. The subsequent city council meeting attracted rabid Kirk-haters including several who “serve” on the city council, in case you were wondering about the kind of scum which now occupies that part of Idaho.
Give it a day or so and he’ll walk it back😴😴💤💤. Same rhetoric, different a-hole
The dude’s a Republican.
“mindless, cult-member, group-thinking morons”
That certainly describes Democrats.
Idaho?
LOL!
