Very indepth feature story in the Washington Post today about Ottawa County. The have an HVAC contractor running the heath department? Evangelical activism at it's worst.
I have gifted the story, follow the link...
Ottawa County offers a glimpse of what happens when one of the building blocks of American democracy is consumed by ideological battles. https://wapo.st/41N8Hkw
Here's my favorite part:
Moss and the board’s choice to run the county health department was Nathaniel Kelly, an HVAC service manager with degrees from an online university and no experience working in public health. Kelly, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment, had regularly pushed discredited covid treatments, such as the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin.
Before Moss could install Kelly, he needed a reason to fire Hambley. Then came a report on an obscure right-wing website that the health department was a sponsor of a local public university’s “Sex Ed Week,” which included an event called “Kinky Karaoke” and information about polyamory.
Hambley’s office issued a press release saying the health department’s role in the student-organized event was limited to testing for sexually transmitted diseases, which it did monthly on the campus. The new county administrator ordered Hambley to retract the statement, claiming it was a lie.
And Moss, appearing on a conservative radio show, suggested Hambley was engaged in a coverup. “There needs to be accountability,” he said. The next day, Hambley filed a lawsuit in state court, accusing the board of micromanaging the department and illegally attempting to dismiss her without cause.

Based on how things are going in the state GOP, the entire party has gone apeshit...

Kind of reminds me of our current Transportation Secretary.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Dropping knowledge on forum MAGAts. Unapologetically intellectually superior.

That is partially correct - the trains he is familiar with features a different style of caboose.

And conservatives are masters of whataboutisms... What's your point?
