Remember Angie Craig? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every two years she dusts off the ads with her four-wheeling around the back roads of her district, hanging out with the good ol’ boys in LeSeuer County, trying to appear “moderate”. <\/p>\n

Remember Yusuf Haji? <\/p>\n

Probably not.  He’s running for Dakota County Commission. <\/p>\n

Seems pretty innocent, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Turns out Haji’s got friends in low – and left-wing – places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Turns out, not so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haji is affiliated with “Our Revolution Twin Cities” – a group that wants to defund the police, among a dog’s breakfast of other bad ideas<\/a>. Here’s an X thread<\/a> with more on ORTC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MInd you, this is in the same community that just had two cops and a firefighter killed by someone who would have been in jail but for the DFL’s other dilution of the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n

Thing is, this area – the DakCo Commission, the various House districts (Gabriela Kroetsch is a strong GOP challenger in HD55A), and of course Angie Craig is vulnerable enough that this district is considered a plausibly contested race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So if you live in the south burbs, don’t be fooled.\u00a0 Haji is a Moriarty – and Angie Craig is sucking up to the radical fringe that is no longer a fringe in this metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
