The Hill ^ | 06/20/21 | Michael Schnell

Ammon Bundy, a leader of the 2016 armed occupation at a federal refuge, has announced his candidacy for governor of Idaho.

Bundy, in a video posted on Saturday, said he is running for governor because he is “sick and tired of all of this political garbage just like you are.”

“I’m tired of our freedoms being taken from us, and I’m tired of the corruption that is rampant in our state government,” he added.

I’m not sure if his candidacy has real legs, but if I were in Idaho he’d have my vote. It’s going to take someone who is willing to completely repudiate federal government power to wrest us from this quagmire.

He might win. People in Idaho know what really happened.

I found nothing but left wing sources when I looked up Ammon Bundy to refresh my memory. Nothing I could trust, so I rely on FReepers for any information they can provide. I’ll ask my cousin who lives in Idaho as well.

What they forget to mention, is that they were going after his
cattle on land his family had let their cows graze on for
a long long long time, with consent.

I’m waiting for the full federal crew on one of these
operations to wind up in federal prison for a decade or two.

The Swill sure doesn’t mind being used do they.

Hi.

People who are shot at (and killed), by the FBI for no reason deserve my support.

Whether it’s Waco, Wounded Knee, Richard Jewel, Roger Stone, Randy Weaver, Alian Gonzalez, TWA 800, Whitey Bulger, etc., to the FBI spying on a campaign of the other party, and then the President elect and afterwards.

I could go on but won’t.

The federal government cannot be trusted. Period.

And the people of Idaho are tired of the feds efing things up for them there as well.

Not saying hes Trump, but hes a political outsider many many people across many demographics can relate to.

“Open borders, no wall,”

Dont know about him but Cliven was absolutely for open borders. He got into hot water for making the remarks about letting the hispanics in since they are family people and the “negro” people are not.

That ended any support I had for them. Matter of fact, they managed to alienate any support they had from most who went to defend them.
