Tafoya Called Minnesota ‘Embarrassing’ in Deleted Tweet

“In a local radio interview earlier this month, Michele Tafoya, the Republican Senate nominee in Minnesota and former sports broadcaster, was asked about her past criticism of the state and whether she was embarrassed by Minnesota,” CNN reports.

Said Tafoya: “If I were embarrassed to be from Minnesota, would I be running for the United States Senate to represent Minnesota? I have never said that.”

“But three years ago, in a since-deleted tweet uncovered by CNN’s KFile, Tafoya said exactly that.”
