Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel drops out, faults Trump immigration policy

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawyer for the immigration officer who shot and killed Renee Good dropped out of the Minnesota governor race Monday, breaking with many fellow Republicans and calling President Donald Trump’s immigration operation in the state an “unmitigated disaster.”

“I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state,” Madel said. “Nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

Madel said that U.S. citizens, “particularly those of color, live in fear.”

“United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship," Madel said. "That’s wrong.”

Madel said he personally had heard from local Asian and Hispanic law enforcement officers who had been pulled over by ICE.

“I have read about and I have spoken to help countless United States citizens who have been detained in Minnesota due to the color of their skin,” Madel said.

Add him to the 6 Federal prosecutors and 1 FBI agent, who have quit in recent weeks.

Thing is, if all the people who adhere to rule of law and justice quit, they will probably be replaced by more Gestapo.

Steve...remembers when most Republicans were decent human beings.
