END OF SESSION

We are still learning what happened on the final night when Democrats in both the House and Senate decided to throw away the rules and ram through a massive 1,400+ page bill. One would have had to read ~23 pages per minute in the approximate one hour the bill was publicly available to read prior to voting. Obviously not physically possible. To punctuate how massive the bill was, it’s been 15-days since the vote and non-partisan legislative staff have still yet to even provide a summary of what was in the bill.

Sen. Lucero correcting corporate media's attempt to whitewash Democrats' violating the rules and Constitution.

What Democrats did the last two years with billions-upon-billions in surplus taxpayer dollars.

FALLOUT IN THE HOUSE

There are a few key political reasons why Democrats were incentivized to rush their agenda through the legislative process despite having the ability to call a special legislative session to give bills the time our state constitution requires. The Democrat’s House majority is at stake this November, and several pseudo-moderate Democrat legislators will be returning to their districts asking constituents to re-elect them after participating as co-conspirators passing the most far-left agenda in Minnesota history. These pseudo-moderate incumbent House Democrats have a very hard time defending their record to voters who know the truth, and can’t lose campaign time to a special session nor afford any more radical votes close to the election. In fact, one of the few remaining Democrats still attempting to portray themselves a moderate, Representative Dave Lislegard, this past week announced he will not run for re-election. The long time Democrat stronghold in Minnesota’s Iron Range will likely be fully represented by Republicans in the House after the election this November. After Rep. Lislegard is replaced, the era of rural, moderate Democrats is fully dead and replaced with far-left, metro centric, radical Democrats.

FALLOUT IN THE SENATE

The Democrat’s 1-vote majority in the Senate is at stake before the election this November due to Sen. Mitchell’s arrest and subsequent charge of 1st degree felony burglary. During Sen. Mitchell’s Senate Ethic’s Hearing earlier this month, Democrats made it abundantly clear Democrats had zero interest upholding integrity or holding Sen. Mitchell accountable until after Democrats use her deciding vote to force through the Democrat’s far-left agenda. Now that the legislative session is over with Democrat final bills voted upon in direct conflict with the Constitution, the Democrat Party is free to discard Sen. Mitchell in a clearly shallow attempt to save face. Democrat Party Chairman Ken Martin released a statement last week doing exactly that in a call for Sen. Mitchell to resign.

What Democrats mean to say is: "Now that we've disregarded ethics, truth, and doing what's right just long enough to hold onto power by our fingertips using Mitchell's vote to pass our anti-Minnesota agenda, we safely release this empty call for Mitchell to resign."

Absolutely zero has changed in Sen. Mitchell’s case since the Ethics hearing and floor votes in which Democrats refused to demand any accountability for Sen. Mitchell. No new information has been released that explains why the Democrat Party went from insisting nobody rush to judgement despite the abundant evidence of her wrongdoing, to suddenly calling on her to resign. The only thing that has changed is her vote is no longer needed since session is over and Democrats successfully passed their far-left priorities. It shouldn’t come as any surprise if we see more Democrat legislators have a sudden change of heart, and join Ken Martin in calling for Sen. Mitchell’s resignation after previously defending her.

Nothing changed between May 19 and May 30. Gov. Walz and the Democrat Party twist truth and simply exploit people and process to retain power before discarding when people no longer benefit them. The disdain corrupt Democrats have for Minnesota shocks the conscience.

Despite these efforts to backtrack on support for a legislator charged with felony burglary, it also wouldn’t be surprising if Democrats double down on their power trip just as they have consistently done over the last two years. Calls for resignation have no effect on Sen. Mitchell if she chooses to ignore them, which her lawyers said she would do in a statement responding to Democrat Party Chair Ken Martin. Democrats do have another choice Democrats have thus far continued to ignore. Democrats could work with Republicans in a bipartisan fashion to uphold integrity, the public trust, and remove Sen. Mitchell immediately, but this is very unlikely to happen.

It is clear the Democrat Party and Democrat controlled government will NOT do anything to meaningfully hold their own members accountable. In the mind of Democrats, loyalty to party tribe is MUCH MORE important than loyalty to the Constitution, our Republic, or truth. The only place Democrats may face accountability will be in the courtroom where the constitutionality of a 1,400 page bill with multiple wide-ranging subjects may be challenged, and where Sen. Mitchell will have to face a judge for her felony burglary charge. Even if all institutions fail, voters will still have an opportunity this Fall to hold Democrats accountable in November for the far-left partisan agenda passed over the last few years, and the complete abandonment of rules, ethics, integrity, and the public trust.
