Pennsylvania State Representative and DNC Vice chair Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta is a wonderful soul! I am very irritated to hear what republican State Representative Aaron Bernstein said about him in Pennsylvania. He went on a homophobic rant and hurled slurs and lies about Malcolm …..

and some Democrats don’t want to talk about it because it makes them look silly. We have a issue with fraud in Minnesota. It is not by one group or one Community, but we have to figure out how to keep taxpayer dollars safe so that we have access to the services that we all deserve.

Talking about fraud is not a republican talking point. Everyone should care that we are losing jobs, people are losing their homes, and life has become even less affordable. Instead of trying to find solutions for accountability and oversight, some want to ignore the problem as if it will go away.
