‘I don’t – I don’t know who he is. I don’t – I’ve never met him,’ the lieutenant governor says

An interview with Idaho’s lieutenant governor went off the rails after a reporter asked her why she spoke at an event hosted by a well-known white supremacist.

Last month, Lt Governor Janice McGeachin spoke at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) in Orlando, Florida. The event was organised by Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist who was involved in both the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia and the “Stop the Steal” rally that led to the 2021 Capitol riot.

KTVB reporter Brian Holmes asked Ms McGeachin, a Republican, why she spoke at Mr Fuentes’ event.

“Are you familiar with who puts this event on?” Mr Holmes asked. “Like, Nick Fuentes?”

1. From last year: Idaho lieutenant gov. reportedly banned mask mandates while boss was gone

Idaho’s politically ambitious lieutenant governor pushed through an executive order banning mask requirements while Gov. Brad Little was out of the state, according to a report.

Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin — who announced last week she’s vying for Little’s seat — went behind the executive’s back to enact the legislation while he was attending a Republican conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Thursday, according to KTVB.

“The Lt. Governor did not make Governor Little aware of her executive order ahead of time,” the governor’s office told the local station.

McGeachin said she banned face-covering requirements in state-run buildings — including schools, libraries and hospitals — because the mandate threatens the “freedoms” of residents.
