'The state of Minnesota is not interested in following the 'squad' off the rails.' Republican Jason Lewis kicks off his campaign for Senate by slamming a member of the House.
Republican and former U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis announces his run for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019 at the State Fair in Falcon Heights, Minn.
“The state of Minnesota is not interested in following the ‘squad’ off the rails,” Lewis said. “They’re interested in keeping our prosperity going, keeping our Constitution intact and making certain that all of you have a future.” State and national Democrats rushed to attack Lewis. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said Lewis will “have to explain the disgusting comments surfaced from his right-wing radio days attacking and disparaging women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities.”
While Lewis’ “two mommies” was offensive to Craig, a married lesbian mother of four sons, she made relatively little mention of it during the 2018 campaign, when she kept her focus on health care and Lewis’s strong support for Trump.
