MINNESOTA’S GOVERNOR DELIVERS RACE RANT ON IMMIGRATION [UPDATED]
(Has the millionaire former U.S. Senator, the privileged, spoiled Mark Dayton slipped back into his alcoholism and maniacal depression which forced him out of Washington a few years back…..the Democrat who bought his political life? ghr)
The following article is by John Hinderaker at PowerLine:
“On October 13, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton attended a public meeting on racial issues in Central Minnesota hosted by the NAACP. The meeting took place at the public library in St. Cloud, and was attended by around 100 people. St. Cloud, located around 90 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is home to a large number of Somali immigrants, and there have been occasional news accounts of racial tension, although no violent incidents to my knowledge.
Dayton is an extraordinarily rich man–I don’t think anyone can even guess how much money he has–and a far-left partisan. He made it clear whose side he is on, as reported in the St. Cloud Times:
From the start of the event, Dayton bluntly stated his opinions on the racial tension in St. Cloud and across the state in regards to immigration.
“Look around you. This is Minnesota,” Dayton said. “Minnesota is not like it was 30, 50 years ago. But, this is Minnesota and you have every right to be here. And anybody who cannot accept your right to be here and this is Minnesota should find another state.”
Dayton said he was aware of some of the racial issues happening in the St. Cloud area and urged participants to take a stand against what he described as “unacceptable, un-Minnesotan, illegal and immoral” behavior.
What behavior is he talking about? I have not been able to figure this out by searching for news reports. As noted, I can find no record of any even mildly violent racial incidents in or near St. Cloud. Maybe commenters can come up with one. This and this are as close as I have been able to come. These stories suggest that there is disagreement about the wisdom of importing tens or hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Somalia.
Dayton’s fulminations continued:
“If you are that intolerant, if you are that much of a racist or a bigot, then find another state. Find a state where the minority population is 1 percent or whatever. It’s not that in Minnesota. It’s not going to be again. It’s not going to be that in St. Cloud, or Rochester or Worthington,” Dayton said. …” Please read on to know the Governor better:
