Video captures agitated North Idaho senator cursing liberal nuttard at county fair

MOSCOW -- Idaho state Sen. Dan Foreman, R-Viola, says he won’t attend the Latah County Fair next year unless he receives a personal apology from fair management for how he and other Republicans were treated during the four-day event in September while staffing the GOP’s booth.

A body cam video from the Latah County Sheriff’s Office dated Sept. 14 — the first day of the fair — shows a confrontation between Foreman, who was elected in November to represent the 5th District in the Legislature, and an unseen male.

The Latah County Sheriff’s Office had a command trailer at the fair, staffed by four to five deputies. A fairgoer walking by the command trailer told a sheriff’s deputy an argument was under way nearby, about 50 yards from the trailer, sheriff’s office spokesman Lt. Brannon Jordan told the Statesman.

In the video, at 5:52 p.m. the sheriff’s deputy approaches an obviously agitated Foreman, who tells the deputy, “This guy says I’m not doing my job, and he’s lecturing me on the Constitution.”

Mr Foreman doesn't seem to grasp the reality that he works for EVERYONE in his district - not just the people who voted for him.
