• GOP leader scoffs at pressure to condemn Trump's political rhetoric (minnpost.com) — Cold Spring’s own House Speaker Lisa Demuth is at the center of a heated debate over whether Minnesota Republicans should more forcefully condemn Donald Trump’s recent comments about Somali Americans. She and other GOP leaders say they oppose broad attacks on any community but accuse Democrats of “selective outrage,” while immigrant advocates and Gov. Tim Walz press for a clearer denunciation of Trump’s rhetoric.
