Minnesota House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman refuses to apologize for her comments.

The DFL’s leader in the state House of Representatives is not apologizing for a crack about white men during a floor speech that led at least one Republican colleague to demand on Tuesday she resign from her leadership post.

“I hate to break up the 100 percent white male card game in the retiring room, but I think this is an important debate,” House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, said during a House session on Monday evening.

Hortman then praised several speeches by female colleagues, including several women of color, that some members missed as they relaxed in the lounge-style room reserved for members that’s just off the House floor.

Hortman did not immediately return a call seeking further comment. The spat broke out during debate on whether protesters who block freeways or airport and transit access should face stiffer criminal penalties.

What I’d like to know is who let Melissa into the retiring room?

[Slyfox]

The demoncrapic party hates white, straight men. I have friend who became a Republican because he was forced out of a state demoncrapic committee for being white and straight.

[Lazamataz]

Look. I’m as critical as anyone to anything liberal, but this statement that she made just doesn’t seem so bad to me.

[WKUHilltopper]

Another subversive. GTFO of my country!

[BenLurkin]

Let me guess. The speeches which nobody cared about were speeches opposed to arresting the idiots who block freeways and access to airports.

Minnesota House of Representatives
Hortman won her first term by narrowly defeating Republican incumbent Stephanie Olsen in the 2004 general election by 402 votes out of over 20,000 cast. She had previously lost to Olsen in the 2002 election. She has been re-elected every two years since then.

In her first term, Hortman was an outspoken advocate for the Northstar Commuter Rail line, which runs through her district. She also supported a new stadium for the Minnesota Twins. She has been an advocate of environmental issues and in the effort to bring the 2020 Summer Olympics to Minnesota. She is adamantly pro-choice, is not a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and does not agree with the state requiring legal identification to vote.

After the 2006 election, Hortman was chosen by her peers to serve as one of eight assistant majority leaders in the House.[1] She was again chosen to serve in this capacity after the 2008 elections. She has also served as speaker pro tempore for many of the House sessions. She served as a minority whip during the 2011-2012 legislative session.[5] She was elected by her caucus to be minority leader following the 2016 election.
