With Carnahan out as MN GOP boss, the deafening silence over it in Minnesota's Republican online presence is noteworthy.

 Credit Mitch Berg. He posted on the Carnahan Thursday night meeting, from the outside, and his thoughts have merit. This link. Check it out.

Gary Gross never left Biden bashing to acknowledge the Carnahan/Party situation. Ditto, Powerline. Gary did take a couple days off from posting.

It seems like the ostrich head in the sand image is somewhat relevant. 

-----------------------------

It almost is as if there is a Republican old guard, e.g., Andy Aplikowski being second-generation inner party, Freedom Club being a factor, etc., while Carnahan and Lazzaro were relative newcomers. Carnahan's marriage puts a foot into the old guard network, but the notion that the Party had to be expansive in a big tent fashion seems, for now, to have gone into deep limbo. Old guard, old ways, pastors and embryo Angst likely to again rear their ugly heads anew. Tea Party, Trumpism on the wane, unless the Party picks Bob Kroll as its new head honcho.

Minneapolis police leader defending George Floyd’s killers tied to ‘white power’-linked biker gang


From The Grayzone vault: The record of a pro-Trump Minneapolis police leader defending the killers of George Floyd reveals a past marred in accusations of racist violence, including charges from fellow police officers that he once wore a “white power” badge on his motorcycle jacket.

Remember, Sarah Lazare said all that, not me. Kroll in charge? Unlikely, but feasible. However, expect a less incendiary selection.
