BOISE, Idaho (AP) – An ethics complaint has been filed against an Idaho state senator after a tweet from an account purported to be the Republican lawmaker’s directed students to discuss “killing babies” with a Democratic colleague.
After the complaint was filed, the roughly year-old unverified Twitter account was temporarily deleted. It was reactivated briefly to state it was not affiliated with Foreman. A message seeking comment with the account manager was not immediately returned.
As of Monday night, the account remained deleted.
