Labrador’s wait appalling

Wed., Aug. 23, 2017

It is unbelievable that Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador waited four days to respond to the Charlottesville violence and racism. It is patently apparent that Labrador is a weak person who is riding on the coattails of President Trump and doesn’t want to say or do anything against the party line.

That Labrador, in spite of Idaho’s past history with the Aryan Nations, remained silent, refused to comment and refused to respond to reporters’ inquiries until practically coerced to do so by Gov. Otter is unconscionable. I therefore doubt he would make a good governor for the state of Idaho. He certainly does not have my support or vote.
