Minnesota Democrats Spread Wild Conspiracy Theory Regarding Attack on Rep. Sarah Anderson

St. Paul, Minn. – Less than one week after state Rep. Sarah Anderson was attacked over her political views, prominent Minnesota Democrats are downplaying this mob-like behavior and promoting a wild conspiracy theory regarding the attack. Minnesota Jobs Coalition executive director John Rouleau issued the following statement.

“It was shocking but unfortunately, not surprising, when Rep. Anderson was physically attacked for her political views. From Maxine Waters to Hillary Clinton to Eric Holder, Democrats have called for the harassment of Republicans. For prominent Minnesota Democrats and staffers to spread wild conspiracy theories and accuse Rep. Anderson of making up her own attack, is downright despicable. The Democrats who have so warmly embraced their support should immediately denounce these comments.”
