'Outrageous': Republicans Blasted for Alerting Only GOP Side About COVID Cases in Minnesota Senate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Minnesota Senate GOP is facing serious criticism after failing to alert the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) of a COVID-19 outbreak ahead of a special session on Thursday.

Only Republican state senators were given a memo saying that various GOP lawmakers and their staff had tested positive for the virus, leaving their DFL colleagues in the dark.

"It is outrageous and completely unacceptable that Senate DFLers were not notified of the recent COVID-19 outbreak among Senate Republicans prior to Thursday's floor session," DFL Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent said in a statement. "This lack of transparency is a blatant disregard for the health and safety of others: our DFL and nonpartisan staff, members, and the communities we go home to."

In the memo, Craig Sondag, the Senate Republican chief of staff, instructed all GOP staffers to work from home during Thursday's special session, reported the Star Tribune Saturday.

And they wonder why their party loses elections.

And the MF’ers got re-elected of course. In this state you absolutely can’t get rid of the Repugs in the state legislature.
