Trying to keep an eye on as much of Iowa as we can is a challenge. Somehow, we missed this one last year.
Earlier today we told you about Stan Walk, a county supervisor in Mitchell County. It turns out, Walk’s threatening letter sent to the Iowa Property Assessment Appeal Board isn’t the only headline-grabbing thing he’s done lately.
In January of 2019, Walk walked out of the room prior to a Mitchell County Board of Supervisors meeting when attendees began to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Walk reportedly voiced concern over the words “justice for all” a week earlier. He told KIMT that he wasn’t disrespecting the country with his actions.
“I’m not against the country and that (the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem) but I am against the idea that we have justice for all,” he said. “We no longer have justice for all here in this country. The super-rich have taken over and it’s time that people stand up and say enough is enough — the little guy deserves justice.”
Later in January of 2019, the board voted on a motion to start the meeting each week with reciting the Pledge. It passed 2-1.
Walk voted against it.
Walk posted an anti-Trump video on his Facebook page as well, entitled The Day Democracy Died, noting it is “comical.”
The video will not play on other websites, but here is a link. It likely wouldn’t be considered wise for children to hear due to some of the language.
