2020 MN Senatorial race: on Civil Rights


Jason Lewis: Prohibiting worship during lockdown restricts freedom

Prohibiting worshipping during this lockdown is just the latest attempt at restricting religious freedom by radicals like Senator Tina Smith and Governor Tim Walz. From Little Sisters of the Poor to florists, bakers and even Minnesota filmmakers, liberal Democrats seem to be at war with those who practice according to their religious conscience. I applaud the churches and clergy who showed the resolve to stand up to the Governor's autocratic order unfairly restricting religious gatherings.

Jason Lewis: HRC: 0 score in Congress, compared LGBTQ people to rapists

The Human Rights Campaign released a statement about Lewis, who had a zero score on the group's Congressional Scorecard while in the House. "Jason Lewis is a dangerously out-of-touch extremist who compared LGBTQ people to rapists and criminals and complained that he could no longer call women 'sluts,'" said Lindsey Clark, HRC regional campaign director for Minnesota.
