Paul Robbins quote is a thigh-slapper. "Smearing & attacking"? Actually, Lachenmeyer is pointing out facts in Puppolo's record & hasn't leveled any below-the-belt personal attacks. Shows how rusty Puppolo's electoral operation is & how little scrutiny he's had in 20 yrs, just puff-piece coverage.

Congresswoman Craig is the crypto industry's champion. There's even an NFT that says so. That's why, on the first day of the Minnesota State Fair, she headlined a crypto conference with Eric Trump. Minnesotans deserve leaders who serve them, not Trump’s grifts.
