Minn. AG Keith Ellison on Speaking at ‘No Kings’ Rally: Gov. Walz ‘Was Busy Trying to Catch the Killer’

EXCERPT:

ELLISON: “I wholeheartedly support the decision of the governor, lieutenant governor and others to not go. We need -- we cannot possibly risk the top of our state and they did the very right thing, the thing I would advocate. But on the other hand, I felt that somebody, at least one of us, should go to be with the people in this grieving moment. But the governor was busy trying to catch this killer. The governor was very occupied and he needed to focus on what he was doing. And I needed to do what I could do to lend comfort in that moment. I also wanted -- I wanted to remind people about who Melissa was.”
