Yay!! Can't wait to see you! Sneak peak: I'm gonna ask, "what does fighting back/good representation look like to you in state politics today?" Hoping to have some good community reflections together!
R's strategy to repeatedly say "show up to work" does not justify nor explain why they're trying to steal power in the House that the voters didn't give them. If MN wanted R's in charge of anything, they would have voted for more R's than D's on election night. But they didn't.
The fake "rules committee" today "authorized" taxpayer money to go to "chair" Niska's law firm to pay for defending their illegal power grab.
You can't make this stuff up. Can you imagine the GOP outcry if Dems did this?
Not to mention trying to overthrow the Shakopee election that they lost 3x over.
Minnesotans should be outraged by what the Republicans are doing in the House. Wasting your tax dollars so they can play make believe, refusing to recognize your SoS as presiding officer, and fake allocating real tax dollars to their own employers to defend their illegal actions. Can't make this up.
Screenshot of a tweet that says: "Joke's on them. I love it when Democrats don't show up for work. Then at least they aren't raising my taxes."
Republicans have lost their way. They say this 👇🏼 and then 🙉🙈🙊 when their own party wastes taxpayer money to play "House" and "approve" taxpayer money to go to the "chair's" own law firm? No conflict of interest to see here... The willful ignorance is alarming.
Secretary of State Steve Simon's response can be found here: www.sos.state.mn.us/about-the-of...
Republicans claim to be the "party of law and order" while also being the party that blatantly tries to steal elections from the MN voters who voted for a tied house. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution that they immediately broke with smiles and celebration.
