I’ve been writing about the Dorr Brothers – the Iowa-based scammers behind “Minnesota Gun Rights”, among many other potemkin 2nd Amendment, pro-life and pro-Trump “groups” – for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No – a very, very long time<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And I’ve written a lot about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No – I mean a lot<\/a><\/em>. Including just about as much actual reporting<\/a> as just about anyone in the field ever has (here’s an excellent summary of alternative-media coverage of the Dorrs<\/a>, going back more than seven years). <\/p>\n\n\n\n But MPR’s Catherine Richert is taking the story mainstream again<\/p>\n\n\n\n THREAD: Back in February, I started reporting on a trio of brothers who used social media to spread disinformation and sow discord within the GOP, including in MN. The story was shelved when COVID19 hit… until now. https:\/\/t.co\/wQiQhJLcMQ<\/a><\/p>— Catharine Richert (@CatRichert) April 21, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
