Oh, you folks are going to LOVE what Janice McGeachin did this time

Janice McGeachin is Idaho's lieutenant governor. If you're not yet aware of her, imagine either (1) Marjorie Taylor Greene without the Southern accent or (2) Donald Trump who knows how to apply makeup properly.

Well...we know the Republican governors are currently holding their convention. (This is the event that threw out Mike Lindell.) Idaho's governor Brad Little is a Republican, so he went to it and left McGeachin in charge of the state...and once the adults were out of the room, she wrote and signed an executive order banning local government entities from having mask mandates.

As you'd expect, Governor Little is royally pissed.

She’s clawing her way to the top. Planning to run in the next GOP Gov primary.

The part of the Idaho GOP that used to be Constitution Party before they realized Constitution Party candidates can't even win in Idaho is plenty pissed about Governor Little's actions to stem the spread of coronavirus.
