Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, April 01, 2025

An Idaho Republican has accused a GOP rival of harassment in an op-ed after he reported her farm to federal immigration authorities. In January, Ryan Spoon, vice chair of the Republican Party in Ada County, publicly called for immigration raids on State Representative Stephanie Mickelsen's farm, accusing her of employing undocumented workers. Days later, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrived at Mickelsen Farms, escalating political tensions and raising concerns about the impact of immigration enforcement on Idaho's agriculture industry. "Those who speak up with concerns that challenge certain views are quickly labeled as non-conservative and targeted for harassment," Mickelsen wrote in an op-ed published in The Idaho Statesman.

If not for the needless harassment of farm workers just trying to make a living this would be hilarious.

More Republicans should busy themselves with bullying each other and torpedoing Republican run businesses.

The nice thing about witch hunts is you always find a witch.

Later she turns out to be innocent, because the whole point of witch hunts is to murder the innocent people who stand in your way.
