I’m surprised the people in Ellison’s district didn’t elect a Nazi to Congress during World War 2.
Nope. In those days, this district sent a giant to Congress, Republican Walter Judd (whom was considered Presidential material). He served until redistricting played a role in defeating him in 1962, losing to leftist Democrat moonbat Don Fraser. He was the last non-crazy sent from the district.
