Discussion: Minnesota GOP Rep: I Can't 'Risk' Meeting Students After Moore Accused

2 Likes

This strange story keeps getting a little stranger. Now she adds a noncomparable situation as an excuse - and we learn that as recently as a year ago she had other meetings with students and the founder of the organization (who she has now twitter blocked.)

Mostly it sounds as though she has caught the fevered paranoia of the Trumpioids, is ā€˜afraidā€™ of all democrats - even teenagers - as if it could only be some kind of ā€˜gotchaā€™ attempt rather than a legitimate meeting. Oh - and throw in a dash of being increasingly more vulnerable as a GOP representative in Minnesota at the beginning of a big national blue wave.

Mary, how ā€˜bout you just donā€™t take their clothes off and fondle them? There, you should be good to go now.

You donā€™t support me, so Iā€™m not going to represent you.

If this was a real concern, and itā€™s not, sheā€™d just meet with them with her staff, or other adults, present.

No it canā€™t really be a genuine concern. Sheā€™s just making noise.

Well then, letā€™s hope another recount gives us another vote.

Just fighting over 1 ballot, would result in a tie

If she is so afraid she canā€™t keep her hands off the kids, she could arrange a chaperon. I understand that is a good job for a chief of staff.

She needs to fess up, she doesnā€™t want to meet with anybody who isnā€™t going to donate to her campaign.

They canā€™t just fight over one vote - either they have another recount or we have that vote and won.

She has a long history of strange. Google ā€œMary Franson Insaneā€ and youā€™ll see. She once said that giving people food stamps is like feeding wild animals, has been sued by an ex-boyfriend for stalking and, referring to the first openly trans person being elected to the Minneapolis City Council, ā€œA guy who thinks heā€™s a girl is still a guy with a mental health condition.ā€ Thatā€™s just a tasteā€¦

Court agreed to open the box and look at the ballot. Box was opened and GOP lawyers believe theyā€™ve found the one ā€” paperclipped with two other ballots on the top of the stack. But now Dem lawyers are saying thereā€™s no way to be sure THATā€™S the one.

Really? I didnā€™t think you could do that over one vote - I really thought it was recount or nothing and in case of a tie there are different remedies depending on the state - run off or in New Mexico they flip a coin.

She should consult with James Okeefe for pointers on how they do it
