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.
And for his running mate, he chose…this guy. Image
Scott Jensen has promised to throw one of his political opponents in jail. apnews.com/article/2022-m…
Scott Jensen wants to cut taxes for corporations and the ultra-wealthy – and, if he had his way in the #mnleg, Minnesota’s minimum wage would be lower today.
Scott Jensen is an anti-vaxxer with international infamy.
A Jensen-Birk administration would be a disaster for Minnesota. We’re ready to get to work to re-elect @Tim_Walz and @peggyflanagan!

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.

Crockett owes Minnesota's Jewish community an apology.

The @ADL has a great explanation of what the "George Soros puppet master" conspiracy theory is and why it's so harmful.

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.

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 disgraceful that Representatives @JimHagedornMN, @tomemmer, @FischbachMN7, and @PeteStauber continue trying to block efforts to investigate the assault on the United States Capitol.
dfl.org/press-release/…
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.

THREAD: Today, the second impeachment trial of former President Trump began. Just over a month ago, he incited a deadly assault on our nation’s Capitol to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

Donald Trump betrayed his oath of office and he must be held accountable.
Trump spent months falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen.

Then, he held a rally the day Congress was supposed to certify the election results. He told supporters they "have to fight much harder” and "get rid of the weak congresspeople."

Then they marched on the Capitol.
Inspired by Trump's call to action, the insurrectionists assaulted the outnumbered police defending Congress. During the attack, officer Brian Sicknick was murdered.

The insurrectionists eventually forced their way inside, while others constructed a gallows on the Capitol lawn.

THREAD: Today, in honor of Black History Month, we're paying tribute to Nellie Stone Johnson. Johnson was a labor organizer fighting for fair wages in the ‘30s. She helped form the @MinnesotaDFL in 1944 and helped grow the DFL into what it is today: a party for the people. #BHM
Born and raised in rural Minnesota, Johnson learned the importance of organizing growing up: “the least powerful person in the country, understanding collective bargaining, can become the most powerful, and that is what politics is all about,” (1988). #BHM
minnpost.com/mnopedia/2017/…
Johnson spent her life giving voice to the voiceless, working as a passionate union advocate and civil rights leader. In 1945, she became the first African-American elected to office in Minneapolis and her activism led to Minnesota's Fair Employment and Fair Housing Laws #BHM Image
