🚨 Please watch: While casually walking in NYC, a man goes unhinged by my presence. He yells and screams that I am “Islamophobic and racist” but can’t give one example.

Shouts “someone is going to find you” while signaling a gunshot to the head.

“I want you to go into any leftist organization and show them my photo and they will know who I am” he yells when I ask him how he has helped society.

Uncovering fraud and helping America has become the most dangerous job in America, unfortunately.

Too little too late.
Tuesday was the filing deadline.

🚨 BREAKING: The @MNGOP State Executive Committee voted unanimously late last night that Chairman Plechash did NOT have the authority to release the gubernatorial candidates from their pledge to abide by the MN GOP endorsement.

Plechash himself voted for the motion.

A) 🤮yrefy commercials -all of em
B) no way I’m putting my $$ in a company that refinances defaulted student loans

[TygerPyrate02 @Caufe01Mack]

Am I the only one tired of seeing the "Yrefy" commercial on TV?
"Did you know" is wore out. Please stop!!

Senator John Fetterman says he was the only Democrat on the Senate's Fraud Exploratory Committee to vote in favor of opening an investigation into Malia Obama's suspicious USAID grants when she was still living at the White House in 2007.

"She was just a kid," said Fetterman, "So shouldn't we be looking at how a high school girl snatched $2.3 million for writing pen pal letters to a few dozen kids in Africa?"

Fetterman says the party's refusal to investigate its own people is the main reason he believes there will be a red wave in November.

"Nobody sees it coming, but mark my words."

[John Rouleau @John_Rouleau]

This side by side of results and the massive fluctuations is crazy.

As someone who in a past life recruited Kendall for Congress and had once (until about the 4th round of balloting yesterday when he took a shot at practically 90% of the MN GOP legislative members) had a tremendous amount of respect for him, he continues to disappoint.

[Kelly - NASCAR Fan @talkette]

Mike Lindell spoke after 3rd ballot for endorsement. When he told the delegation he is not going to abide by #mngop endorsement and will run in the August primary, THEY BOOED HIM.

[Casey @space_case12]

@BeckwithArvo Many of the delegates there don’t believe it’s their responsibility, first and foremost, to select the candidate with the highest chance of success in November. We need to abandon this process and have a June primary.

[Barbara Linert @blinert]

@mbrodkorb Easy answer: #clickergate. The process broke down therefore the endorsement is not valid.

[levi @5sleepless6]

@mngop What is funny is...

First who is this guy? and....

.. I HEARD NOTHING about this candidate outside in rural Minnesota.

[Barbara Linert @blinert]

Blame rests with the @action_liberty “grassroots is better than established/experienced leaders” movement that voted in @mngop chair Plechash last year - AND flipped from opposing clickers to supporting once the dysfunctional voting method started putting their candidate ahead

[Walter Hudson @WalterHudson]

Midway through the day, I connected with an old friend who was the "numbers guy" for a statewide campaign back in 2012.

He showed me an analysis of the electronic voting in today's governor endorsement.

He noted absurd irregularities in ballot totals, like 10% to 25% drops from ballot to ballot.

I personally noticed irregularities the day before in device function, which I raised from the floor.

There was reassurance (based on plausible theories) that the system was working.

But today's fiasco calls the entire process into question.

I've been a delegate to every convention since 2010, and have never seen a cluster like this.

Embarrassing and completely unacceptable.

[Barbara Linert @blinert]

If yesterday’s “clickergate” wasn’t bad enough, this us Another black mark against @mngop chair Plechash … AND in my mind a black mark against the “grassroots” @action_liberty movement who voted him in.

[Peggy Bennett @PeggyABennett]

Just heard that Kendall Qualls received the GOP endorsement for governor. Congratulations, Kendall!

I wanted to give you a quick update on why I did not take part in convention today. I was greatly looking forward to addressing the delegates, but then this happened…

[amanda @amandatalks__]

if anyone is wondering why the GOP never has a chance in Minnesota, I have the perfect explanation for you: the GOP recruited the best candidate for Senate in a generation (@Michele_Tafoya) and after a long rules fight this morning, they are now on the third ballot round looking like they won’t endorse her.

Every time I think about getting involved in Minnesota politics again I see this and am reminded why I stay away.

[Barbara Linert @blinert]

@thauserkstp @KSTP The ball is in Demuth’s court…will she go to the primary? The convention and endorsement process had many flaws…

[Mayor Zach Lindstrom @MoundsViewMayor]

@mbrodkorb #Clickergate

[🔨 @mnhockeyone]

@mbrodkorb Well a primary is the only way to pick a candidate. This convention crap is long overdue to be replaced.
