Idaho GOP disavows Ammon Bundy's run for governor

https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/06/we-will-not-turn-a-blind-eye-idaho-gop-chairman-says-about-ammon-bundys-run-for-governor/

Bundy, a far-right activist who legally can’t step on Idaho Capitol grounds or be in the building, filed paperwork to run in the 2021 Primary election to be Idaho’s next governor. In a statement released Friday, Idaho GOP Chairman Tom Luna said Bundy’s intent to run in the party requires a response.

“First, Mr. Bundy is currently not registered to vote in Idaho, and he is not even registered as a Republican,” Luna said in the statement. “Furthermore, we do not support his antics or his chaotic political theater. That is not the Idaho Republican Party, and we will not turn a blind eye to his behaviors.”

I hope he's right about this though.

how far right do you have to get to be too far right in Idaho? Republicans are the party of law and order
