MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Democratic Party will consider expelling anyone involved in a brawl that broke out at a political event to nominate candidates for a Minneapolis City Council seat.
At least two people were injured in Saturday’s confrontation. The head of the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Chair Ken Martin, said on Twitter that he plans to call an emergency meeting later this week to consider banning anyone involved in the assaults from the DFL Party, an affiliate of the national Democratic Party.
Video posted on social media showed the disturbance began after supporters of Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai took the stage, which caused an uproar among supporters of her challenger, Nasri Warsame. Some Warsame supporters then jumped on stage, shouting, banging on tables and waving signs.
As supporters of both candidates pushed and shoved each other, a party official repeatedly banged a gavel and tried to quiet the crowd but was ignored.
“I was scared some of us might die,” said Bridget Siljander, who was on the stage with other Chughtai supporters when they saw people punching, shoving and pushing each other on the floor.
“It was complete chaos,” Siljander said, adding they were terrified the fight would turn into a stampede and that it felt -- in the moment -- like an insurrection. Siljander said those who incited the violence should be removed from the party and criminally charged.
Convention chair Sam Doten called the behavior embarrassing and adjourned the event without a nominee being chosen, saying it was no longer safe. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how the party would proceed with choosing a nominee.

It was just normal every day Democrat behavior. No need to expel anyone.

The good people of Minnesota should kick all these Bastards out.
The Democrats are truly the retard party.

I watched a 6 minute video of this on another site. White people, who were definitely in the minority, looked totally bewildered, and some even looked disgusted. But, that’s what they voted for, the Africanization of American politics, starting with 0bama, now they have it in spades.
Yep.
