America, let Minnesota be your warning.

Radical leftists running their “resistance” playbook in Minnesota have thrust our state into chaos once again. We’re in the headlines daily for the cover-up of rampant fraud, attacks on federal agents trying to do their job to enforce the law, and irresponsible politicians pushing for more violence in the streets. Minnesota, what are we doing?

I will tell you what’s happening. Extremist liberals with zero accountability have completely lost the plot. A woman is dead after intentionally targeting an ICE officer who was just doing his job. Just like our liberal Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flanagan, said, she “put her body on the line” and tried to stand between law enforcement and their job to keep our community safe.

Elected officials, fresh off a billion-dollar fraud scandal that put Minnesota in the national news (again), were quick to encourage more violence. Disgraced Gov. Tim Walz (D., Minn.) declared that Minnesota was in a “civil war” with the federal government.

America needs to wake up and see that what has happened to the state I love so much can happen anywhere when we stop electing competent leaders with character and instead focus on a left-wing political ideology. All of the chaos we see in the streets and in headlines is directly traceable to the out-of-control Democrat politicians who run our state. We have to do better.

While our politicians let us down, those who suffer most in Minnesota are the middle-class families putting their heads down just trying to survive. They don’t receive a taxpayer funded grant for their balance sheets. Instead they watch their cities and small businesses burn, while streets are less safe and the cost of everyday goods rises more and more. 

Minnesota is a warning sign for what happens when radical liberal extremists take control of government and allow the most extreme elements of the Left to dictate policy. And those radical politicians are getting help. Far-left groups from outside our state who want to tear down our American way of life have descended on Minnesota to sow chaos and dissent. This isn’t the Minnesota I love.

Minnesota is a great state, filled with good people. It is filled with moms and dads who just want to get their kids to hockey practice on time and not have to worry about what their woke government is going to do to upend their life this week.

It’s not too late for Minnesota. Voters can say enough is enough this November and throw out these incompetent clowns who are giving our state a bad name. They can replace Governor Walz with a competent leader, and send a common-sense champion to the United States Senate. 

I hope to earn voters’ support with hard work and a common-sense message. But in the meantime, the rest of America should pay close attention — this out-of-control chaos is what you can come to expect from extreme left-wing leadership. We’ve seen it here firsthand.
