“Kootenai County Democrats do not condone expressions of hate, violence, or antisemitism of any kind, to any degree – even if it is in jest, and even if those online postings are directed at people who we share vehement disagreements with.
At the end of the day, we are all Idahoans. We want safe schools, opportunity for all, robust and protected public lands, and a departure from the extremism that has tainted Idaho politics for too long.
If you see a satirical Facebook page or post that Kootenai County Democrats are tagged in or erroneously credited with, please ignore it and refocus your efforts on becoming champions of true democratic values.
Thank you.”
