Democratic Governor Tim Walz says the U-S House opening an impeachment investigation of President Trump “may not be politically good to do.” Walz says he, like many Minnesotans, is sick and tired of “dysfunction in D-C.” The governor adds, “I have been frustrated on multiple fronts but once again the distraction of it kind of leads us back to…, if Washington’s not gonna lead, Minnesota will.”
State Republican Party Chair Jennifer Carnahan says “the newly radicalized Democrat majority is… trying to make something out of nothing in attempts to take down President Trump.”
The impeachment inquiry by the Democrat-controlled U-S House is prompted by a transcript showing President Trump prodded Ukraine’s leader to assist in undermining political rival Joe Biden.
