Racist fliers distributed in Southern Idaho
Aryan leader promises campaign will continue
IDAHO FALLS – A North Idaho man says about 3,000 white supremacist fliers have been distributed in Southern Idaho as part of an Aryan Nations campaign that started March 6.
“It’s our constitutional right to distribute literature, and we will continue to do it,” Paul Mullet, of Athol, told the Post Register on Thursday. “There will be a lot more.”
Mullet said he is the leader of the group. He has also distributed fliers in North Idaho.
Barbara Holm, of Idaho Falls, recently received one of the fliers that said “join the fight to keep America white.” It was stuffed with two peppermint candies.
“I just could not believe that something like that had come to my driveway,” Holm said. “I was flabbergasted.”
She said it was the first time she had encountered white supremacist material in her hometown.
“I’m also horrified that they can do this,” Holm said. “I think it’s a sad day for America.”
Idaho Falls Police Department Sgt. Phil Grimes said the flier Holm received likely didn’t violate any laws, but an investigation is possible.
Mullet last month revealed plans to move the group’s headquarters to Oregon’s Grant County, a sparsely populated area 198 miles from Portland and 147 miles from Boise.
