Idahoâs relationship with Ammon Bundy is one of appeaser and the appeased â with predictable results.
Where was the outcry about the Emmett manâs exploits in Bunkerville, Nev.? Idaho has a lot of ranchers who pay an allotment to the federal landlord. But you didnât hear much from them when in 2014 Bundy and his family took up arms against federal officials who simply wanted them to compensate the government for grazing their cattle on the publicâs land?
There was even less heartburn two years later when Bundy organized the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge south of Burns, Ore. In fact, state Reps. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, Sage Dixon, R-Ponderay, and Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, took time to travel to Oregon and lend him support.
