Insults and ignorance during a global pandemic

Heather Scott quoted, in her video, on Channel 4 television on April 17, stating that Gov. Brad Little is acting like the Nazis during the Holocaust is just plain wrong.

The governor is doing his best in support of his constituents during the COVID-19 pandemic, to protect as many Idahoans as possible from becoming ill or dying of this virus. Recommending: social distancing, wearing of nose and mouth masks, closing of non-essential stores, postponing elective surgeries, etc., has been done in order to keep the population of Idaho as safe as possible, until a vaccine can be created, or the pandemic is eradicated. it has not been done to create martial law or to cause the citizens of Idaho losing their basic rights as guaranteed under the Constitution.

The Holocaust, Ms. Scott, murdered millions and millions of people, to include 6 million Jews. Do you see the Governor having people murdered? Or do you see our State leader doing his best to keep Idaho from becoming another New York, Italy, or Spain, or wherever thousands have died? You are an insult to common sense, and can take your conspiracies, insulting and ignorant and hurtful comments and keep them to yourself. You will never be my representative. Did you really ever study history while you were in college? Your convoluted presentation of what you call “facts” is a lie.
