The Twin Cities will conduct local elections on Tuesday, but the final stretch of the campaigns have been either quiet or nonexistent after last week's mass shooting upended the community.
Eighteen people were killed and 13 more were injured in shootings at a Lewiston, Maine, bar and a bowling alley on Oct. 25, setting off a multiday search for the gunman, whose body was found two days later.
On Thursday's CNN This Morning, reacting to a deadly mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, the show provided Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) an unchallenged forum to push for more gun control and lament that such legislation would likely be opposed by newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson. And, even though fellow Democrat Senator Jon Tester supports legislation to protect the gun rights of veterans, Senator Coons was allowed to mislead viewers on the issue.
