Local GOP condemns Risch, Crapo

The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee narrowly passed a resolution on Tuesday night favoring friendlier relations with Russia and condemning the Russian sanctions bill that was sponsored by Idaho GOP Sen. Mike Crapo and passed overwhelmingly by both the U.S. House and Senate.

The resolution denounces both Crapo and Idaho GOP Sen. Jim Risch for supporting the measure, and calls for them to “re-examine their foreign policy orientations” and instead adopt “an anti-globalist, America-first foreign policy orientation.”

Lindsay Nothern, communications director for Crapo, said Wednesday his office didn’t know about the Kootenai County GOP resolution/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
