GOP: Failing their duty

It’s ironic that while the Idaho Republican Party supports legislative action to prevent a vaccine mandate in our state, a 20 army medical team of professionals has been assigned to assist Kootenai Health in treating the high number of mainly unvaccinated patients with COVID-19.

This is the first time the Department of Defense has deployed medical assets to help support Idaho during the pandemic crisis.

This is greatly appreciated in my state whose representatives are unwilling to protect its own citizens against this virus.
