... over allegations of domestic violence, indecent exposure
Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson (D) launched his political career after a police officer shot and killed his friend Philando Castile during a July 2016 traffic stop. Thompson pledged to reform policing in the state and was elected this past November.
Now, less than a year later, state Republican and Democratic officials, including Gov. Tim Walz (D), are calling for Thompson’s ouster after his own recent traffic stop led to new revelations about his past. Since the stop, police reports have surfaced showing that, years ago, Thompson was accused of choking and hitting a girlfriend on multiple occasions and once exposing his genitals to a couple of women while children were present.
“Minnesotans deserve representatives who uphold the highest moral character and share our values,” Walz tweeted on Saturday afternoon. “Following the deeply disturbing reports of domestic violence against multiple women, Rep. Thompson can no longer effectively be that leader ...

“Minnesotans deserve representatives who uphold the highest moral character and share our values,”
1. No, they don’t.
2. Apparently they have representatives who share their values.
L
Mission accomplished!
Does our side have ANY INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS, or are they just laser-focused on getting rid of Trump?
Why does this guy make it to the State House and have to commit another crime for anyone to bother researching his past?
I’ll give the likely answer: Someone on our side likely did the Google search on his name and found the charge. But Frank Luntz, or one of his local suck-ups, said it would be ‘divisive’ to point out his past felonies, so that was it...
Until states start passing laws that require only moral candidate’s be allowed on the ballot. Continue to expect mostly scum in government. .
Sounds like this knucklehead represents a district that would have a (D) representative under any circumstances — so what difference does “our side” make?
1. No, they don’t.
Agreed - all I've heard from BLM idiots is that our ideas of morals and character are tools of white supremacy. I understand that to mean John Thompson is exactly who we deserve to represent us.
Problem is, they are political morons that let the Left abuse their kind hearts and get elected.
Is being a womanizer and child molester a problem for a DemoRat.....not it a badge of honor just like billy boy Clinton.
They have many. They just don't have any intelligent operators.
Well, I was going to make a comment about making the guy a state rep without know who and what he was, but then again, I thought of Biden... So, whatever.........
He has committed perjury {multiple times}, and has accused the cop that stopped him of racial profiling him.
There is a body cam video that proves thompson to be both a racist as well as a liar.
The fools from MN will re-elect him in 2022.
“Problem is, they are political morons that let the Left abuse their kind hearts and get elected.”
Hard words and even the most cursory understanding of how a state has a clearly Socialist, nigh on Communist, major party survive through the 1940s and 1950s would allow nearly anyone to draw the same conclusion on political naivete, even from a distance. For the uninformed, the party I reference is the Democrat Farm-Labor party, dba “Democrats”.
Bwahahahahahahaha! They knew about this guy for years, and now they are only responding because somebody found out.
LOL, that's a good one.
The man’s list of violations is almost identical to that of Bill Clinton.
It apparently depends on who you are and who you can have killed.
That’s racist, because they have no right to question how a black man treats women or children. /do I really need it?
