Gov Little is in Texas meeting with nine other Republican governors.
Lt Gov McGeachin, a far-right Republican, is running for governor.
(In Idaho, the governor and lieutenant governor don’t run on the same ticket.)

Lt Gov McGeachin issued executive orders while Gov Little was away:
1) Anti-vax mandate
2) Sending Idaho national guard troops to help patrol the Texas/Mexico border.
note: Idaho shares an international border with Canada but not Mexico.

Idaho National Guard General replied:
“I am unaware of any request for Idaho National Guard assistance under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) from Texas or Arizona,” Garshak wrote, in part, to McGeachin.
“As you are aware, the Idaho National Guard is not a law enforcement agency.”

Gov Little said when he comes back, he's going to reverse those orders.


WOW!
Repub far right will stop at nothing to grab power, even from one of their own party.

This is not the first time she has pulled this crap. she tried to do similar crap when he was gone last year or earlier this year concerning masks or something (I can't recall off the top of my head the specifics) . He also reversed that order when he returned.

Wow. The response from Little.
“Attempting to deploy our National Guard for political grandstanding is an affront to the Idaho constitution and insults the men and women who have dedicated their life to serving our state and the country,” Little said in a statement

The fact that these far right people get elected is insane. Who would vote for such a stupid, crazy, person to govern them?

The people labeled "far left" are typically smart and have logical reasons for their stances. They also represent their local constituents. These far right people are going to destroy the country if voter don't get their collective heads out of their asses and stop voting along party lines without knowledge of what the officials stand for.

Her head is obviously bigger than the seat of her pants. She's trying to punch above her duties for a seat she hasn't been elected for.

 

[KMFJD]

i hear she's way more popular then Little and will likely get voted in as the next governor?

 

[sactoking]

Yeah, these are all political stunts so she can say "I'm for prohibiting mask mandates any my opponent actively overturned my prohibition on mask mandates!" during the next election.
