Ammon Bundy, the anti-government militant who led an armed takeover of a US wildlife refuge, is running for governor of Idaho


Ammon Bundy, the anti-government activist who led the armed takeover of a national wildlife refuge in 2016, announced Saturday that he's running for governor of Idaho.

"I'm running for governor because I'm sick and tired of all of this political garbage just like you are," Bundy, who is running as a Republican, said in a campaign-announcement video.

"Joe Biden and those in the Deep State that control him, will simply not be able to help themselves — they are going to try to take away our gun rights, freedom of religion, parental rights, and more and further violate the Constitution in unimaginable ways even more than they've already done," he continued.

Bundy, 45, is best known for his role in armed confrontations with the US government, which he alluded to in his announcement video, saying his family knew what it's like "when the federal government unlawfully attacks the people."
