Politicians don’t get it. They think that erasing statements means they’re in the clear. They still haven’t figured out the concept of screen captures & flip-phones capturing things as they are, not as they’re scrubbed to look.
IDIOTS. News has changed forever.

Why do you think it was the House DFL caucus that had the statement removed?
If the statement is so toxic, why are Republicans taking steps to propagate it?

For the same reason any other victim of a crime tells others, to stop it from happening again.
