Regarding “Democrats pull worker out of Bonner County charge harassment by Idaho Rep. Heather Scott’s supporters”: an unnamed campaign worker from an unnamed place is whisked away to an unnamed place because he claims being harassed — day and night, everywhere he goes — in two counties.

For good measure, Heather Scott’s opponent heaps on with a story about her 90-year-old mother-in-law being harassed in the Safeway parking lot by an armed Scott reporter — last August. The lady apparently didn’t think it important enough to even mention for three days or file a police report, nor did Scott’s opponent — until October.

So a 21-year-old Democratic operative trembles for his life and has to be removed from our area while a 90-year-old lady just goes about her business.

Let’s hope law enforcement gets to the bottom of this with. If the results are as I surmise they will be, Kate McAlister and her minion should be charged with filing false reports.
