JUST IN: Minnesota Republicans ILLEGALLY declare Rep. Lisa Demuth (R) as their Speaker of the state House.
Here’s the situation: Voters elected 67 Democrats and 67 Republicans to the state House in November, and lawmakers began to craft a power-sharing agreement for the tied chamber.
But today – at the eleventh hour – Republicans decided to ignore this agreement and instead elect their own Speaker.
Let us be clear: this was ILLEGAL. This defied both a court ruling AND and adjournment from the democratically elected Secretary of State.
This is a blatant disregard for the rule of law – and it requires our immediate response.
