City of Palmer’s statement:
Here are Shelton’s comments on sexual assault. It is worth mentioning that Alaska has the highest rate of sexual assault in the United States. Furthermore, according to the National Sexual Violence Recourse Center only 2-10% of all sexual assault allegations are false.

Another homophobic remark made by Shelton:
That is not the last of it, this gets worse. Mayor of Palmer, Edna DeVries was contacted by KTVA by phone. When asked about BLM being a hate group, she responded by saying “You don’t think they are?” Here is a screenshot from the KTVA article:
DeVries is protecting Shelton. She has proven herself to be just as ignorant as he is.
