The Spokesman-Review wrote several stories on the ensuing controversy, using the photo each time. It's appeared in the Sandpoint Reader, on KUOW, in the Inlander, and on public radio websites. To this day, she has the photo posted, uncredited, on her campaign website where she writes, "I posed with a Confederate flag on a parade float to show that our First Amendment right is one of the most important rights we have."
In documents submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office in 2021, Andrew Scott titled the picture "In Defense of the First Amendment."
Then, this February, the day after Heather Scott attended a Kootenai County Lincoln Day Dinner with U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, her husband sent a letter to the Inlander and at least one other journalist with a legal threat over our use of the photo, saying we'd be liable for up to $150,000 in damages.

It's that "in defense of the 1st Amendment" crap that makes a load of hypocritical BS.

(50,453 posts)Heather Scott may not be the absolute worst person in the State of Idaho, but shes in the top five.
Among her greatest hits: she was a huge supporter of Ammon Bundys Malheur takeover.
She is one of the founders of Matt Sheas Coalition of American States. Google Matt Shea. That fucking guy was so bad even the generally right-wing Spokane Valley, which he represented, decided theyd had enough of his shit.
She tore out the fire suppression system in her Congressional office because she decided it was spying on her.
The only way she got elected is by representing a part of Idaho with about twenty people, most of whom meet two qualifications: their paternal and maternal grandmothers are the same woman, and theyre 35 miles to the right of Mussolini.
The day she detonates due to buildup of excessive hate, every Democrat in Idaho needs to stand guard over the states flagpoles to stop anyone lowering them to half-staff.
