Rep. Emmer did 3 TV hits this morning on DHS/ICE. Same topic on all three. Two friendly hosts, one who asked follow-up questions. His answers broke down on CBS. The numbers he cited are disputed by fact-checkers. #MN06Watch

Emmer called for Ellison's indictment on X — quote-tweeting a clip of Hawley's Senate hearing attack. 151,000 views.
At the hearing itself, Emmer accused Ellison of "cutting deals with Somali fraudsters." He wasn't under oath. He left before being sworn in.

Uncovered this nugget and included it in today's weekly round up. Went with this format because Emmer didn't do much the last 24 hours and it was a busy week. If you only read 1 thing I write this week, I'd make it this (or tomorrow's piece).

Emmer claimed today that Metro Surge arrested "4,000 criminal illegal aliens" and found "3,000 missing migrant children."
DHS won't break down criminal vs. non-criminal. Ellison testified under oath: 77% had no record. The children claim has been fact-checked by CBS MN, AP, and USA Today.

Agreed. Tried to distill this one a couple of days ago as well. Hoping to distill things to just the facts. I used to be for voter ID before seeing numbers like this and the fact that any attempt to fund it to ensure we don’t disenfranchise 21M is a complete non-starter for some.

It’s an R+10 district, which in normal times would be safe. Seeing some of these special elections makes me wonder.

Emmer testified at a Senate hearing on Minnesota, left before the oath, and tweeted "INDICTED" about testimony he wasn't there to hear.
The senators making the accusations weren't under oath either. Only Ellison was.

Also, polling on Voter ID is very dependent to how you ask. When you give all the information about the SAVE act (disenfranchisement, no funding to help, IDs cost money and time) the approval goes down. Wrote about it here, but hopefully this graphic helps too. mn06watch.substack.com/p/fraud-vote...

“Pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and drug traffickers.”
Prepared statement. 2 minutes 33 seconds. No Q&A. Those were his chosen first words.
Four days ago he told Fox 9 he wanted to “reduce the rhetoric.”

Post 1:
Same congressman. 48 hours apart.
On Fox News: "rapists, murderers, pedophiles, drug dealers walk the streets."
On Fox 9 in Minneapolis: "People are so heavy. Families are hurting. I hope we get back to being Minnesotans."

Q10: How does Trump's endorsement help Republicans break the 20-year statewide losing streak?
The answer: It doesn't. It might threaten Emmer's own seat.
Trump is 0-3 in Minnesota with -20 approval. His endorsed candidate just lost a TX +17 district. MN-06 is only +13.
