I don't know who Alan Page is, but you'll notice the vast majority of people protesting are of a certain demographic and it ain't Alan Page's.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawyer for the immigration officer who shot and killed Renee Good dropped out of the Minnesota governor race Monday, breaking with many fellow Republicans and calling President Donald Trump’s immigration operation in the state an “unmitigated disaster.”

Chris Madel’s surprise move comes amid growing calls from Republicans to investigate federal immigration tactics in Minnesota after a U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. 

Madel went a step further than most Republicans in his video, saying that while he supports the goal of deporting “the worst of the worst” from Minnesota, he thinks the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities has gone too far.

“I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state,” Madel said. “Nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

Good for him. He traded in his political career but kept his integrity.

Trump may be term limited out for President but nothing prevents him from running for Governor.

I don’t think he can handle the weather. If he claps his hand together at the moment they look as if they may fall off. He doesn’t wear hats because that rat hair toupee may come off.

Bad fit.

Yeah. Propaganda certainly works both ways. Neither "side" is innocent in that endeavor.

I don't think she ever appeared on the show, and she isn't running for gov, but she is running for the Tina Smith's Senate seat.

It has been nearly four decades since I lived in the Twin Cities.  I still have people there.  I wish them all well.  Be safe.  Think twice before acting once.
