The Parents of a Girl Killed at Annunciation Say Lisa Demuth Told Them She Wouldn't Block a Vote on an Assault-Weapons Ban. Then She Blocked It.

Mike Moyski and Jackie Flavin say House Speaker Lisa Demuth sat in their living room after their 10-year-old daughter Harper was killed at Annunciation Catholic Church and promised not to block a floor vote on an assault-weapons ban. When the Senate passed one, she kept it off the House floor — and later bragged to GOP activists that she 'led the effort to stop Democrats from taking our guns.'

The House's No. 3 Republican told the St. Cloud Times that the spending cuts in Trump's budget bill were just the start — 'It doesn't even scratch the surface' — and government needs to be reinvented.

Pete Stauber Told a Debate Audience He 'Never, Ever' Called Minnesota 'a Failed State.' He Said It on Newsmax in January.

At what may be his only debate, Rep. Pete Stauber called it 'an outright misrepresentation' that he'd described Minnesota as 'a failed state.'
