Tim Walz joins Melissa Hortman, Ryan “Uncle Tom” Winkler, and Ken “Alita Messinger’s Shih-Tzu” Martin in calling or John Thompson’s resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…he can no longer be effective”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was “effective” enough after his “Burn Hugo Down<\/a>” antics for the same three people to endorse him for election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So – what are <\/em>they thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threatening children: Effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Burn down Hugo”: Effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Question: Does anyone out there seriously believe the DFL knew none of Thompsons domestic violence or, er, domesticity allegations before he got elected? <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
