Watching trying-too-hard erstwhile conservative 2A advocates get ratioed harder than O.J. when he vowed to find Nicole's killers.

Minnesota - what happens when you hitch your bandwagon to a train that derails? The wheels are coming off this thing in real time and it’s all saved on the internet for posterity.

@AJInvestigates We don't require a video. We have an official statement from DHS which has not been disproven.

@TheBrancaShow The ICE officer who shot him will absolutely be convicted of murder - unless the feds refuse to cooperate and they impede an active state investigation. If that happens, I think the state courts will approve warrants for each federal officer who obstructs the legal process.

@WalterHudson What does "brandish" mean?

[John Lesch @johnlesch]

@ChrisMurphyCT The feds are desperately looking for an exit strategy. This always happens after a failed invasion. Stay strong, Minnesota.

We sure have a lot of drugstore conservatives around here who don’t even know what conservatism [e-mail]

@GuntherEagleman This was a homicide. The shooters and his accomplices will not escape justice. They will be held accountable by Minneapolis police and county prosecutors.

[John Lesch @johnlesch]

@GOPMajorityWhip Tom - will you call for ICE to disclose all evidence to the MN BCA whom they unlawfully denied access to the scene of the shooting?

[John Lesch @johnlesch]

@PatGarofalo That would criminalize nearly every political campaign solicitation I've gotten in the last year.

@votegriffin This is one of the problems with too many folks on the modern left - they think performative acts and hero complexes solve complex social problems. Thankfully there are still progressives who spend more time working than they do tweeting.

Minnesota: pioneering the reasonable approach since 1858.

@CheyCab @johnerent @WedgeLIVE This was not that much a surprise. Complaints against Frey were the same ones repeated by a vocal minority since the 2021 election when he ran the table. And Carter benefitted from a delicate immunity that fractured as soon as a credible candidate announced. Perception ≠ reality

See how it works.

Letterman should probably lay low for the next few weeks just to be safe.

@bloisolson @wccoradio Thank you for having me, @bloisolson Good memories of our friend.

@LibertyUSA37 @Satyrnine Most American school children learn the “Nuremberg defense” is shameful. And @Satyrnine is absolutely correct. As an enlisted man and as an officer, I took an oath “to the Constitution and to the people of the United States,” not to a man or a commander. This is fundamental.

@gregorymaxwell @melissahortman Luke 18:9-14.

You were strong, you were determined, and you were a great leader. To you and Mark, go with God.

[John Lesch @johnlesch]

@bryanstrawser @MarkFyten @MNHD3BGOP This is why the MN GOP has suffered a nearly 2 decade losing streak.

[John Lesch @johnlesch]

@repmattdean He is learning the difference between imagining absolute power and realizing qualified support. A tough lesson for any young person in politics. You're seeing it unfold nationally and at the local level.
