Revealed: anti-government People’s Rights Network, founded by Ammon Bundy, appearing to follow ‘entryism’ strategy

At least 66 members of an anti-government group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in the Republican party in Oregon, the Guardian can reveal.

The candidates stood for Republican precinct committee person (PCP) slots in three central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, with some facing no opponent and thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus.

The move is part of what appears to be a coordinated attempt to capture the local Republican party infrastructure, following a far-right strategy of “entryism” into more mainstream political bodies.

    Spokane valley is their shitty asshole in Washington.

    The last time Spokane (not the valley) got all uppity about forming “Lincoln” or whatever they planned on calling it, Seattle officials literally laughed on air and said go for it, they’d be just fine getting the $733 million western Washington sends over to eastern Washington.

    Spokane shut the fuck up right quick.

    2020 census numbers Eastern WA has 1.3million people Western WA has 6.04mil.

    But sure, eastern Washington should be calling all the shots. What a miserable bunch of whiny crybabies.
