THREAD: @realDonaldTrump’s failure of a presidency has led the US into a state of complete turmoil, and his visit to Mankato is merely a diversion tactic to steer Minnesotans away from the issues that matter most. dfl.org/media/dfl-part…
While @realDonaldTrump is on the campaign trail in an attempt to bolster support in our state, DFLers are hard at work combating his divisive policies and serving Minnesotans. We need your help over the next 78 days to #KeepMNBlue. secure.actblue.com/donate/trump-i…
As we quickly head toward November 3rd, it is critical that we not only elect @JoeBiden to finally put an end to the Trump presidency, but also win big up and down the ballot. #TrumpInMN
With Trump spending over $14 million in TV ads, his intent to flip our state red is clear. We refuse to let Trump’s hateful policies and divisive rhetoric harm our state.
It’s not just Trump infiltrating TV ad space, it’s an endless fixation on Minnesota as a battleground state and today’s visit is no exception. #TrumpInMN
Trump has regularly denied the severity of COVID-19 and encouraged his own dangerous alternatives to treating the virus. This has created a massive national crisis with over 5.4 million cases being reported.

BREAKING: this weekend at the @mngop convention, @KimCrockettSOS played a video that portrayed George Soros, a Jewish man, as a puppet master who is secretly controlling Minnesota's elections.
The "Jewish puppet master" is a longstanding and deeply anti-Semitic trope.
The stereotypes @KimCrockettSOS is using to fuel her campaign are centuries old and have caused incredible harm to the Jewish community both here in the United States and across the world.
Minnesota Republicans have chosen their most extreme and dangerous candidate to lead their party in the fall. We can’t allow Scott Jensen to become governor. #mngov dfl.org/press-release/…
Scott Jensen has promised to ban abortion, even for victims of rape and incest.
THREAD: We're demanding @mngop Chair @davidhann root out the dangerous political extremism that's taken over his party.
Time and time again, Minnesota Republicans have cozied up to violent extremists. It has to end. Here's just a few recent examples: dfl.org/press-release/…
Just yesterday, an MN GOP leader embraced the Oath Keepers, a violent, right-wing militia.
Numerous members of that extremist militia have been arrested and charged for plotting and carrying out the attempted January 6th insurrection. propublica.org/article/oath-k…
While this story is shocking, the GOP's embrace of the most extreme elements of the far-right is not w/o precedence. Just today it was revealed that State Senator @MarkkoranMN is raising money for men charged in the Jan 6 terrorist attack on the US Capitol minnesotareformer.com/briefs/gop-sta…
It is abundantly clear these Republican Representatives don’t want to know whether the January 6th insurrection was pre-planned and who was involved in that planning because they are scared of the answer.
By voting against holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for refusing a subpoena, these Republican Representatives are abdicating the responsibilities of their office and trying to take the teeth out of Congress’ ability to investigate criminal behavior.
