MN-HD33B: Law-and-order Minnesota Republican has history of defending Jan. 6 rioters and 9/11 denial

[RandySF]

Minnesota Republican state legislative candidate Jessica Johnson touts public safety in her bid for power, even though she has made social media posts defending Jan. 6 rioters and questioning the legitimacy of 9/11.

In 2010, Johnson made a since-deleted Facebook post explaining an altercation she had with a state trooper where she said, “F the police!”.

More recently on Jan. 7, 2021, Johnson made posts defending the Jan. 6 rioters who attacked Capitol police officers. When someone commented that Trump encouraged the previous day’s attack, Johnson responded by saying it was a lie and that Trump “encouraged people to stand up for their freedoms.”

Five Capitol police officers died in the aftermath of their defense of the U.S. Capitol, including four who committed suicide in the weeks and months after the events. One rioter, Ashli Babbitt, also died during the riot.

1. Thanks for this info! Two years ago, she was part of a slate of MAGAs trying to take over the Stillwater School Board.

We defeated the whole pack of them at the polls. Not a one of them made it onto the Board.

I'm sure glad I made a donation to the campaign of our Dem incumbent, Josiah Hill. His campaign seems to be operating very effectively.
