   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.

   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.
