I’m guessing he must be a Democrat as I did not see his party affiliation on the article
No, he’s a Republican. I suspect it’s just more deep state partisanship in an election year.
Collin Clark Peterson is an American politician, member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, the U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 7th congressional district, and the most senior representative from Minnesota, serving since 1991
The left hates him because he was the first congressman to publicly endorse Trump.
He is Republican and MSM is saying it loud and clear, they are also saying he is one of Trump’s earliest and biggest supporters in Congress, make it sound like they are oldest and dearest friends... I watched discussion of it for just a few minutes and the guy talking was saying Trump’s name more than Collins.
