      XPost: alt.niggers, talk.politics.guns, mn.politics       XPost: sac.politics       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other state Democrats called on       state Rep. John Thompson to resign Saturday after past       allegations of domestic abuse surfaced Friday, according to       reports.              The state lawmaker was already enmeshed in several controversies       involving a suspended driver’s license, his residency       potentially being out of his district and a suspect claim of       racial profiling he leveled against police during a traffic stop.              Johnson, who was first elected last year, has been accused of       hitting and choking women – sometimes while young children were       present – and of allegedly exposing himself, FOX 9 in       Minneapolis reported.              "The alleged acts of violence against multiple women outlined in       these reports are serious and deeply disturbing," Walz said in a       statement, according to the Star Tribune of Minneapolis.       "Minnesotans deserve representatives of the highest moral       character, who uphold our shared values. Rep. Thompson can no       longer effectively be that leader and he should immediately       resign."                     The allegations were first reported by FOX 9 on Friday night       while the station was investigating Thompson’s residency, which       came into question during a July 4 traffic stop during which he       spuriously accused the officer of racism.              Thompson has denied the allegations to FOX 9 through an       attorney. Representatives for the lawmaker did not immediately       respond to Fox News’ late-night request for comment.              Thompson was arrested in 2003 for allegedly hitting his then-       girlfriend in a grocery store parking lot in front of her 5-year-       old daughter. He eventually pleaded guilty to a reduced charge       of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to FOX 9.              A year later the same girlfriend reportedly called police,       accusing him of hitting her, throwing her onto a kitchen table       and choking her in front of her three children in her apartment.              LAWMAKER WHO MADE QUESTIONABLE ‘DRIVING WHILE BLACK’ CLAIM       TALKED ABOUT ‘BURNING’ A TOWN AFTER FLOYD'S DEATH              She claimed he told her "I’ll choke you until you can’t breathe       anymore," FOX 9 reported. The girlfriend reportedly told police       a day earlier he told her and her daughter, "I hope you both       die."              The girlfriend was taken to a shelter and it’s unclear if       Thompson faced charges.              In 2009, police responded to an incident where Thompson       allegedly exposed himself in front of a woman and two children       during an argument. "I’m the man, you can all s—- my d—," he       allegedly said after he reportedly pulled out his penis. No       charges were filed.              The next year, police were called when a woman who said she had       been in a relationship with Thompson for years and had two       children with him claimed he pulled out his penis and told her       to "kiss the tip" during an argument in front of children and       relatives. She also told police he later choked her and said,       "I’ll choke you until your voice box stops." No charges were       filed.              "Mr. Thompson does deny the allegations," his attorney, Jordan       Kushner, told FOX 9. "The end results speak for themselves. We       are currently focused on [Thompson’s current] trial and do not       have time to dissect these police reports from 10-18 years ago."              Kushner said he had no plans to resign as of Saturday. "It's a       shame that there's no concern about due process," he told the       Star Tribune.              Thompson was cited in Minnesota earlier this month for allegedly       driving with a Wisconsin license that was suspended in 2019 for       failure to pay child support in Ramsey County, Minnesota.              Court documents related to a trial this week where he is accused       of disorderly conduct were also being sent to an address outside       of his St. Paul district.              Thompson alleges that he and others were unfairly treated by       police at North Memorial Medical Center in November 2019 after a       group gathered at the hospital for a friend who was a patient.              His claims greatly differ from what police and prosecutors       contend happened, however, with police saying the hospital went       on lockdown after about 50-75 people began fighting and banging       on windows.              Thompson alleges that police and security guards treated Black       Americans in the crowd callously, and directly called the police       racist. He says an officer responded by calling him an "idiot"       and arrested him for trespassing.              He is fighting the misdemeanor charge in court.              Kushner said the state representative has always lived in his       district but was unaware court documents were sent to an address       outside of his district. Minnesota law requires state       representatives to live in their district.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
