GOP Candidate Quits Governor’s Race in Minnesota

Chris Madel (R) made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so,” the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Said Madel: “United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That’s wrong.”
