A public event on the meaning of American “greatness” will take place on Saturday, January 24, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., at the Aronos Club, 37 Elkins Street, Sonora. The event, organized by Renee Orth, arose from remarks made by Supervisor Griefer during a heated Board of Supervisors meeting on September 16, at which the issue of honoring Charlie Kirk was discussed. Griefer stated, “As I have told both sides of all the parties, I will say this now: anytime, anywhere, any subject, wherever you want to meet, I will debate you in honor of Charlie, whatever that topic is. And I will do that because discussion is the first and foremost weapon we have against evil.”
Supervisor Griefer agreed to participate in the debate as a private citizen, not in his official capacity as a county supervisor, but withdrew from the event on Friday.
The purpose of this event is an opportunity to clarify the values guiding recent decisions by Supervisor Griefer, and to examine those values in the broader context of the national crisis we are facing. At a time of deep division and uncertainty, open and honest dialogue is essential to democratic accountability.
The public is invited to attend this free event.
