As a Minn. native I agree totally, they have taken a self serving stance that does nothing more than put them in the limelight and hopefully will come back and bite them on the posterior portion...They have taken due process out of the equation and lowered themselves to to the same level as any and all lynch mobs I have seen or heard of... All in an attempt to blow their own horns....Sadly I am not one of any of their constituents and cannot vote against them unless of course any of them run for potus
