Video captures agitated North Idaho senator cursing liberal nuttard at county fair [View all]

MOSCOW -- Idaho state Sen. Dan Foreman, R-Viola, says he won’t attend the Latah County Fair next year unless he receives a personal apology from fair management for how he and other Republicans were treated during the four-day event in September while staffing the GOP’s booth.

A body cam video from the Latah County Sheriff’s Office dated Sept. 14 — the first day of the fair — shows a confrontation between Foreman, who was elected in November to represent the 5th District in the Legislature, and an unseen male.

The Latah County Sheriff’s Office had a command trailer at the fair, staffed by four to five deputies. A fairgoer walking by the command trailer told a sheriff’s deputy an argument was under way nearby, about 50 yards from the trailer, sheriff’s office spokesman Lt. Brannon Jordan told the Statesman.
