Alaska’s sole congressman, Don Young, spoke at a Native issues forum in Juneau on Tuesday, answering audience questions in classic Don Young style.
In a meeting sponsored by the Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska and Sealaska Corp., which was live-streamed online, Young, 83, held forth on the Trump phenomenon, legalized marijuana, dealing with Alaska's growing heroin problem, and his future in Congress.
Young was asked his feelings on the GOP presidential race. In a radio interview last week, the congressman declared his support for Ohio Gov. John Kasich and implied that he questions real estate mogul Donald Trump’s qualifications when it comes to the economy.
In Juneau, he was more forthcoming in his views on Trump.
