crazy moment in Minnesota as AG Keith Ellison torches Republican Ron Schutz for accepting donations from fraudsters — and Schutz admits it
Brian Evans retweeted
Thank you Duluth, Minnesota! Great crowd.
Let’s reelect Keith Ellison as Attorney General and send Peggy Flanagan to the United States Senate.

In Minneapolis, fully automatic gunfire went from 154 rounds in 2020 to 3,024 in 2022.
This is about public safety. It's about holding powerful corporations accountable when their choices put Minnesotans in danger. That's why I'm suing Glock for their negligence.
If you can't be bothered to understand the case @RonforMNAG, you have no business dismissing it as "political" and no business being Attorney General.

Minnesotans deserve the truth about who Ron Schutz is and what his plans are for our state.
Since Ron won't tell you, we will. Learn why Ron Schutz is wrong for Minnesota at ron4mnag.com
We're less than two weeks from election day. The stakes are incredibly high for Minnesotans.
How in the world are we spending our time talking about/reporting on a college honor society?
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone or something.

The man who launched Metro Surge, terrorized our state, and got two Minnesotans killed wants you to vote for my opponent. That's all you need to know.
Keith has stopped Trump from taking billions of our own tax dollars out of Minnesota. That's money for our schools, our roads and bridges, our childcare, food stamps, and so much more.
@RonforMNAG wouldn't. It's that simple.

How the hell is Raw Story the only outlet to report that the Republican AG candidate in Minnesota admitted to knowingly taking money from people who had to pay $1.63 million to resolve a federal fraud lawsuit?

This is such a good point.
Ron's been on the board of the top GOP think-tank in Minnesota for 20+ years. He's a well-known and well-connected GOP donor.
If he actually spoke out to defend MN during Metro Surge, people may have listened. But Ron did virtually nothing.
While Ron whines impotently, Keith packed the house in Rochester.
I don't think Ron has filled a room like this once during his entire campaign.
I believe they call this crowd-mogging.
Apparently Keith Ellison is campaigning in Rochester today. Channel 6 KAAL reached out for a statement. Here is what I gave them. What do you think the odds are that they report any of what I submitted.
My Statement:
Keith Ellison is claiming that he makes your life affordable. That is nonsense. The most widely used and respected measure of affordability is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Keith Ellison does not control the price of a single item in the basket of goods and services that make up the CPI. And the most expensive item in almost every household budget is housing. Keith Ellison does not set your rental rate or your mortgage payment. I urge the voters in Minnesota to look at their shopping cart the next time they go to the grocery store and pick up each item and ask themselves whether Keith Ellison set the price of that item. Again, Keith Ellison’s claim that he makes your life affordable is nonsense.
Keith Ellison also claims he is a fraud fighter. That is also nonsense. KSTP did a deep dive into the fraud cases he claims to have prosecuted and found that almost no one goes to jail or ends up with a felony on their record. And on July 1st the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services looked at the fraud unit inside Keith Ellison’s office and found that “the Unit is not effectively carrying out its statutory functions and requirements.” The Inspector General also found “that the Unit did not exercise proper fiscal control for its Federal grant.” This is astounding! The Attorney General is supposed to fight financial fraud and yet Keith Ellison is not exercising proper fiscal control of his own fraud unit.

Ron has once again claimed that the Attorney General can't do anything to help Minnesotans afford their lives.
Well, Ron, have I got news for you.

Look! Ron did the tweet!
