Nicholas Hacker is a former North Dakota state senator and served on the North Dakota Board of Higher Education. In 2016 while Hacker was on the Board of Higher Ed, Senator Ray Holmberg sent Hacker an e-mail describing a sexual encounter he had in Taiwan. Hacker did not forward that email to report inappropriate, likely illegal trafficking until after the investigation into Holmberg began in 2022. That is six years of failing to report Holmberg’s disgraceful conduct.

Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Tyler Fischer is allegedly a comedian. His routine mostly consists of whining about how he is oppressed by “woke” businesses and people. For example, he is making bank on being banned by Delta Airlines. He claims he was just being funny, but you can judge for yourself. Claiming to be a victim can be rewarding, so he calls his comedy tour the “No Fly List” tour. And now he has a new oppressor, Fox News.
