There’s one thing you have to admit about Democrats: They stick together. They have each other’s backs, regardless of what accusations may be flying about, at least until things get so egregiously bad with a particular donkey (Eric Swalwell) that they just have to admit that the dead woodchuck under the porch is starting to stink.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz doesn’t appear to have reached that odoriferous point yet. Minnesota’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), that being what they call Democrats in Minnesota, has now united to block any impeachment proceedings by Republicans against Governor Walz and his equally dead-woodchuck-smelling Attorney General, Keith Ellison.
Conservatives, not just in Minnesota but everywhere, are not happy with the move.
Conservatives on social media erupted with outrage Thursday after Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota united to block a Republican effort to investigate further and impeach Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
A resolution taken up by the Minnesota House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee to launch an impeachment investigation and allow the committee to hold hearings, issue subpoenas and further investigate the massive fraud scandal was blocked after all eight Democrats on the committee voted against it, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported.
The lawmakers deadlocked 8-8 on a straight party-line vote.
Because of course they did. Democrats are lockstep in support of their guy, and honestly, that’s something Republicans could stand to be just a little better at.
Here’s a real howler:
“This is a fundamentally unserious proposal by a fundamentally unserious party who isn’t interested in governing,” Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Rep. Michael Howard said about the move.
Oh, the irony! Half of the state of Minnesota is raking in billions in blatant fraud, and he’s saying that the minority Republicans are screwing up?
Here’s the onion:
“Gas prices are rising because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Health care, housing and childcare costs are spiking. We have hospitals closing, yet this is what we’re going to do today? A bill that’s absolutely going nowhere, dead on arrival.”
Uh, you all in Minnesota just raised your gasoline tax by a little over 3 cents a gallon, so best not yank on that thread right now. And, yes, the Iran attacks have made gas and diesel prices pop up a little bit; trust me, we all know that, it is costing me over $200 to fill the big tank on my enormous honkin’ diesel pickup right now. But look at where gas prices were through the entire Biden administration – and how they dropped after President Trump resumed office and turned the taps back on.

Responses to this blockage have been, shall we say, vigorous. Here’s a great example: Townhall columnist Dustin Grage took to his X account to drop this truth-bomb:
Minnesotans lost $9B in taxpayer dollars to just 14 Medicaid programs under Tim Walz’s administration.
Today, every single Democrat in Rules Committee voted to block an investigation into that fraud.
Absolutely disgusting. pic.twitter.com/ZrJhTPGcY9

Worried about taxpayers taking a shellacking? Look at the gas pump, sure – but look at the rampant fraud that Minnesota Republicans are trying to get to the bottom of. Here, see a couple more hot flashes aimed at Minnesota Democrats:
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Every single Democrat in the Minnesota House Rules Committee votes to BLOCK investigations into fraud under Tim Walz
With a straight face, Democrats endorsed $9B+ in stolen tax dollars
They’re panicked and don’t want anyone finding out how this was allowed to… pic.twitter.com/4XWnzZu3cs

REMOVE WALZ FROM OFFICE and start the criminal proceedings for complicity!
And:
You don’t block investigations into fraud unless you’re benefitting from the fraud https://t.co/n5RZJgcUmO

All true. What’s also true is that Minnesota Democrats aren’t going to budge. When they have power, they use it. And that’s another thing Republicans should be a little better at.
