But he finally had enough with the extreme politics of the Kootenai County (Tea) Republican Central Committee last week. Andrew resigned his elected committeeman position from Precinct 70.

“I’m an original Reagan Republican,” Whipple told Huckleberries. “I’m very conservative. I love guns. But that wasn’t good enough.”  DFO, SR
