ST. PAUL, Minn. (KEYC) — Rep. Jeremy Munson (R-Lake Crystal) is pushing back after the Minnesota House investigates a Pro-Trump rally in St. Paul.
Six Republican lawmakers, including Munson, are under investigation after attending a “Storm the Capitol” rally, the same day rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol building in Washington.
Newly elected District 19A Rep. Susan Akland (R-St. Peter) also attended the rally.
Munson says the backlash legislators are receiving for attending the rally is “overblown” and that representatives should meet with citizens who come to the government seeking change.
