Controversy
Butcher runs a website known as legislatorloyalty.com, which ranks members of the Montana Legislature by how they vote with or against the Montana Republican Party.[4] He has made disparaging comments towards Native American legislators, receiving criticism from Native American Rep. Margarett Campbell.
“I won’t mention the other names that are room-temperature IQs, the reservation doesn’t necessarily always send their best and brightest.”
