HOW ONE IDAHO PASTOR SEES THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN IDAHO



It's been a political campaign where the connections between incumbent Idaho Republican Governor Brad Little, the Chamber of Commerce and restrictive COVID policies have been thoroughly established by the independent candidacy of Ammon Bundy.




 Idaho Pastor Paul Van Noy of Candlelight Church says he leans towards Ammon Bundy and won't vote for Brad Little or a Democrat.



Van Noy says that criticism of Bundy for his 'lack of experience' and or being 'reckless' bears resemblance to the criticism experienced by Donald Trump in 2016 who then ended up doing a "wonderful job" in office.



As for splitting the vote with 500,000 GOP voters in Idaho and only 160,000 Democrats the pastor does not see a split leading to a Democrat victory...TWITTER VIDEO.
