A group called “Capital Transparency” has posted this video, of DFL Representative John Thompson of HD67A threatening to “beat the brakes off” a couple of its reporters, near the scene of a triple homicide out on the East Side over the winter:
Given that Thompson benefits from immense Urban Progressive Privilege – the kind of thing that would have been treated as “a terrorist insurgency” if he’s been wearing a MAGA cap – he’ll never be held accountable for this…
…although I suppose attacking the media is a greater intersectional sin than threatening Bob Kroll’s neighbors.
UPDATE: I originally wrote this story last week. Since then, I actually got a response from the Capitol Transparency guys – and it turns out Thompson was the aggressor (which wasn’t initially clear to me from the video). I’ve rewritten accordingly.
None of which justifies the generally un-justifiable Thompson’s reactions
So why point out those couple of things?
This guy is going to be a Youtube Superstar. It’s only a matter of time before he assaults someone.
Be sure and keep that photo of your Governor and the “State Rep” handy.
You KNOW he’s got a pistol on him at all times. He’ll use it, eventually.
“You shine that light in my face White boy!”
lol
Answer to the people?
Thugs will be thugs. Gutless pols like Walz will excuse their behavior every time.
You can delete my comment above after the post rewrite.
