Multiple video recordings of the incident at Coeur d'Alene High School show Teresa Borrenpohl dragged out of the auditorium by two men in plain clothes.

Private security dragged out a woman who had been interrupting a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee legislative town hall in Idaho Saturday as Sheriff Robert Norris stood by, spurring a disagreement between the sheriff and Coeur d’Alene’s police chief over the First Amendment implications of the incident.

Multiple video recordings of the incident at Coeur d’Alene High School show Teresa Borrenpohl, who ran for Idaho’s House of Representatives in 2024, 2022 and 2020 as a Democrat, seated in the auditorium as boos and cheers erupt around her.

    sadly, the Idaho Neo Nazis have it factored into their hate budget, and don’t mind paying, as long as the pain and fear continue

      If 30 protesters showed up? How many private security guys did they have? He thinks he’s smart by ordering the private security to do it and avoiding the first amendment. I could be wrong, I guess we’ll have to see.

          Dunno what the downvotes are for. I have never visited Coeur D’Alene, but Idaho has a serious problem with violent white supremacists and most people seem to have no idea.
