Meanwhile, back in my home state\...\
\
\"Idaho lawmakers posted a viral video slamming coronavirus restrictions while committing to protect \"unalienable rights.\"\
Several Idaho lawmakers, including the state's lieutenant governor, expressed opposition to coronavirus restrictions as a result of Gov. Brad Little\'s emergency orders in a viral video posted by the Idaho Freedom Foundation.\
\
"We recognize that all of us by nature are free and equal and have certain unalienable rights," Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin said in the video while holding the Bible and a gun in a van adorned with an American flag.\
\
"Among which are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing happiness and securing safety," McGeachin added while reaching for and displaying a firearm and placing it above the Bible.\"\
