The Bluestem Prairie blog is reporting this afternoon that State Representative Tina Mulally is among a group of people and organizations sponsoring Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack at an event in Rapid City next week:
Mack has been noted as a long-time Board member of controversial group Oath Keepers up until 2015. The same Oath Keepers group which is cited as having 23 members of their militia group arrested as part of the riot at the US Capitol on January 6th. Mack is appearing in Rapid City as a representative of the “Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officer Association,” a group which has been cited as being controversial in it’s own right as he teaches that “the sheriff has unilateral power to decide which laws should be enforced.”
Rolling Stone and multiple news outlets recently directed national attention at the Oath Keeper group’s South Dakota ties, which featured State Rep. Phil Jensen’s membership in the extremist militia group.
Interestingly, In addition to State Rep. Mulally, former State Rep. Chip Campbell and the Custer County Sheriff sponsoring the controversial speaker, the flyer claims event sponsorship of the event by Grand Gateway Hotel in Rapid City and Outback Steakhouse.
Do we really think Outback Steakhouse is sponsoring it? I have a sneaking suspicion it’s similar to when Lora Hubbel was hosting an event at Pizza Ranch to talk about masking for COVID..
Stay tuned.
This mutt is referred to here in Arizona as the “Second string Joe Arpaio”. He’s most famous for getting 3% of the vote against wildly unpopular John Kyl. He’s most notorious for screaming against Obamacare and then starting a Go Fund Me page to help pay his medical bills after he got sick.
Looks like the perfect speaker for the Black Hills Nest of Crazies.
mhs,
What is the deductible amount for most obamacare plans?
You have no clue what you are talking about.
By Obamacare plans, do you mean any health insurance plan right now? The deductible varies depending on the plan you purchase. What about “obamacare” do you dislike, do you have anything specific? We can’t go on letting people get healthcare for free, while the rest of us pay for it. Reagan made healthcare a right, we need to address that at some point.
If you are concerned about healthcare costs, I would consider looking at executive compensation for these “non-profit” hospitals. Consider the recent payout of $49M to the previous CEO of Sandford. How do you think the hospital makes that money to payoff someone like that?
He was trying to raise $30k. This is all very public knowledge in AZ as Mack ran in the District 8 special election in 2018, next door to my current District, and got a whopping 1.6%. His hypocrisy on Obamacare was great fodder for his opponents, press, etc.
btw: Debbie Lesko: a real conservative, won the primary and is one of the strongest members of the Freedom Caucus.
So yeah, I pretty much know exactly what I’m talking about.
This looks like an extremely informative event with a real US Sheriff.
Why hate?
Just go.
Then report?
I just want to know many events have you attended, I mean “reported on”, where there is a fake US Sheriff?
Grab your pitchforks and tinfoil hats everyone! Another example of the sad state of affairs in Rapid City’s District 35 as well as among the Pennington County loons.
