Racists Phone Bomb Idahoans

Opposition to overseas refugees, immigration and one Idaho mayor’s recent remarks in praise of diversity prompted a white supremacist group to blanket the state of Idaho with a recorded phone message Saturday espousing their defiantly racist, whites-only agenda. The American Freedom Party’s 48-second call ends with an invitation to support the party’s 2016 presidential candidate, visit the party’s website or call them. A lot of Idahoans did call, but mostly to complain, the party’s chairman said Monday. “Some people don’t like it, well that’s too bad,” said chairman William Johnson, a corporate lawyer in Los Angeles. “We don’t like the direction this country’s taken. They can sit through a 45-second harangue by our party telling them why the white race is dying out”/Bill Dentzer, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Anyone out there get one of these robo-calls?
