Here’s what landed Scott in detention
Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, is no martyr.
Long before she was stripped of her committee assignments Thursday - and with them virtually all of her influence - Scott had displayed a reckless disregard for the well-being of the people she supposedly represents.
Munching on beef jerky at her committee desk, Scott espoused an ideology so rigid she was willing to disrupt Idaho's child support enforcement authority and put 183,000 Idaho children at risk.
One month after Dylann Roof slaughtered nine black parishioners at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C., there was Scott proudly displaying the symbol of Roof's racism, the Confederate battle flag, at Priest River's annual Timber Days.
Scott traveled to Burns, Ore. - twice - and displayed her overt sympathy for a group of armed insurrectionists who had occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
