The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. [NOTE: This was recorded before the shooting death Alex Pretti. Also, a reminder that when Franken was senator, it was representing Minnesota.] As the show writes, “As tensions escalate in Minnesota and Donald Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act, ICE’s brutality continues. We are joined by the current Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota and candidate for the U.S. Senate, Peggy Flanagan, to discuss the crisis in her and Al's home state.
“Flanagan details the cover-up and lies surrounding the Renee Good investigation. The DOJ has withheld evidence and prohibited the state from investigating the case, while lying about how the officer who shot Good has ‘absolute immunity.’ It is clear Trump, Kristi Noem, JD Vance, and the administration have no interest in justice.
“Flanagan also shares stories of the vibrant Somali community who have contributed so much to the state, despite the attempts to malign them. She also shares stories of talking to constituents around the state and how she's finding common ground with rural farmers over the cost of healthcare and tariffs.”
