Eric Parker and Dave Reilly’s Influence
Why Are Idaho Legislators Listening to the Bundy Sniper?
Per recent Investigate West reporting, Eric Parker, the Bundy Ranch Sniper, is spearheading an initiative to narrow Idaho's definition of terrorism. Reporter Daniel Walters wrote, "Eric Parker, accused of 'domestic terrorism' for pointing a gun at government officials, spent 19 months in prison, underwent two federal trials, and has since leveraged his notoriety into political influence."
Parker's proposed bill aims to amend the Terrorist Control Act, restricting its application to individuals committing violent acts associated with federally designated foreign terrorist organizations like ISIS or Hamas. The proposed change would exclude its use against domestic terrorists not linked to such organizations.
Take Back Idaho Publishes 5,000+ Deleted Tweets from Dave Reilly
A newly published archive of more than 5,000 deleted tweets from Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) consultant Dave Reilly reveals previously unreported and deeply troubling antisemitic and misogynistic statements.
Last month a bi-partisan group of Idaho legislators and faith leaders joined hundreds of Idahoans to call on Idaho Freedom Foundation to publicly denounce and fire Dave Reilly. To date, the IFF has failed to do so. The newly revealed tweets paint an even more shocking portrayal of Reilly and his antisemitic and white nationalist views.
