He previously posted videos expressing frustration at being a school board member during the pandemic, and he encouraged listeners to lie to public health officials during contact tracing.

“It’s time to put this matter behind and move forward. Mr. Schuler, under no circumstances will I resign., and I will finish serving my term,” said Peter.
