Thompson was endorsed by the Minnesota DFL Party and Gov. Tim Walz in his campaign for the State Legislature.
A DFL-endorsed candidate for the Minnesota House screamed profanities at a group of teenaged girls during a protest Saturday outside the home of Bob Kroll in Hugo, Minnesota.
“I’m a black man being terrorized by this f–ing Klansman right here,” shouted John Thompson, who won his primary Tuesday for House District 67A. “Y’all got the grand wizard living in your [vulgarity] neighborhood.”
“Don’t run now. Don’t run now racist white people. I’m here. Oh yeah, we pull up. We pulled the f– up,” Thompson continued. “Blue lives ain’t s–, and if people here don’t support black people, f– Hugo, Minnesota.”
While he was shouting, Thompson was looking in the direction of a group of four to five teenaged girls who were standing on their front driveway and watching the demonstration. One of their acquaintances was apparently wearing a “blue lives matter” shirt, but had gone back inside.
Thompson was endorsed by the Minnesota DFL Party and Gov. Tim Walz in his campaign for the State Legislature.
“I’ve known John for years. His fierce advocacy and commitment to his community is exactly what’s needed in the State Legislature right now. I look forward to working with him as the next State Representative for 67A,” Walz said in his endorsement.
He also received the endorsement of Attorney General Keith Ellison and Rep. Betty McCollum.
Thompson’s comments were made during a Saturday protest outside Kroll’s home in Hugo, Minnesota. Kroll, a supporter of President Donald Trump and head of the Minneapolis police union, has faced calls to resign ever since he promised to fight for the jobs of the officers involved in George Floyd’s death.
Alpha News was on the ground during the demonstration, filming protesters as they marched through Kroll’s suburban neighborhood.
Update: Additional footage of Thompson’s speech showed him wondering why protesters “were so peaceful.” He then told a man holding a blue lives matter sign to “take that sign” and “stick it in [his] ass.”
“We coming for everything that you motherf–ers took from us,” he added. “This whole [vulgarity] state burned down for 20 [vulgarity] dollars. You think we give a f– about burning Hugo down?”
That’s not a “black man”....he’s an ANIMAL like most of the Burn, Loot, Murdering animals!
Psycho Killer,
Mr. Thompson pretty well sums up what this party stands for today. And why racism exists.
Fixed it for you.
I’m amazed that he had enough cognitive skill to tie his shoes. I’m not promoting violence by saying this but, if there actually is another civil war in our future, he should be one of the first to go down from a head wound.
Nah. He’s waaaaaaaay down on the list.
Walz is in over his head. He proved that when he allowed the Twin Cities to burn.
Thanks friend. Yeah, I read about him already. We’re headed for some really difficult times. These are the consequences of turning one’s back on God. The ANSWER is to turn BACK to God ASAP before all hell breaks loose. Maybe people will, or maybe they won’t. It remains to be seen.
If the surprise is a flash of light then darkness, yes.
Bigoted
Lynch
Mob
Thanks.
Democrat-Farm-Labor. The local RAT franchise.
BLM in a nutshell.
Some stupid old saying about “judge them by the content of their character, not the color of their skin”
Well, John Thompson, you failed, and I have my opinion formed. There’s no going back.
Just imagine a Republican acting like this racist Demonrat Stalinazi thug.
Not surprised. They’re pushing for it. They WANT an overreaction. Then they’ll point to it and say: See? White supremacy is alive and well. I’m at the popcorn stage. Do what you think is best, but be forewarned.
Sadly not a winnable seat, though we have a nominee.
so peaceful and Zen like too.
