Minnesota MAGA Republican rails on assimilation at town hall
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) told a conservative town-hall on Thursday that immigrants must assimilate, warning that resistance to assimilation undermines national unity and cultural cohesion. Emmer framed the issue as a choice about how the country changes, urging stronger expectations that newcomers adopt American norms. Democrats and immigration advocacy groups sharply condemned the remarks as inflammatory and nativist, saying they stigmatize immigrant communities. The exchange has sharpened debate over immigration messaging in Minnesota and created a potential political liability for Republicans as they prepare for upcoming campaigns.
The Far Left sucks but let’s be clear about what MAGA is doing. This is a real piece of direct mail from Republican candidate: That list IS fascism folks.
Nancy Ries22Why open this important post with “The far left sucks but…” You just alienated one far left progressive feminist 70 something.
Just Joe14The far left is the only group actually pushing for human rights. Centrist dems are weak and a cancer as they have allowed literal fascists to gain control of our government all for the sake of financial gain and political power. I think we need more people on the far left.
frumiousm.bsky.social8The far left is the antidote to chuds like Austin Lee. They're the only ones willing to grab our institutions and make them work for the people.
pinkybum.bsky.social5The "far left" has got nothing to do with what you are talking about. Why even mention it?
amyottinger.bsky.social5Excuse me. “The Far Left sucks”??? You’ve just alienated many progressive democrats with this statement. I’ve followed you for years but need this addressed for me to continue to follow.
jtm1946.bsky.social4Who is this "far left" of which you speak? AOC? Everything that "far left" Dems advocate is popular when polled as issues, health care, taxes, etc. There is no Far Left among mainstream Dems, not office holders, not viable candidates. This is a right-wing trope and shame on you for parroting it.
The Liberty Pear4the “far left” are the only ones who care about us. You are the bigger problem!
Martha near Seattle, 86473Your preface is unnecessary and detracts from your influence.
Sharon Manna3A quick internet search shows that Maury County is approximately 80% white. Settle down there, Crusader.
Glenn3If you think the far left sucks, then you suck .
Rob Ruehl3Never trust a Never Trumper. They are not your allies.
Jeff Stephens3You appear to live in a centrist thought bubble, and blame the left for what is happening now, despite the last two Democratic candidates losing. Open your eyes & see the massive wealth transfer, supported by the GOP and Democratic Centrists, which leaves regular folks in another gilded age. Adios!
Mark Humphrey2Right out of Hitler's books. He needs footnotes on his flyers giving Hitler credit for his stated platform.
