The RINO Establishment uses and abuses local Republicans to do their bidding and act as their pawns. Unfortunately, this is exactly what is happening in Senate District 10 with an individual who competed for the GOP 10A House endorsement, Bernie Penner, being weaponized by the Establishment to spread lies and file false legal challenges about conservative Sen. Nathan Wesenberg. Despite being propped up by RINO Josh Heintzeman puppets, Penner’s outrageous accusations are being forced to meet reality.
Bernie Penner filed an Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) false campaign practices complaint against Sen. Wesenberg on March 16th that was dismissed one week later on March 23rd. In the complaint, Penner alleges that Wesenberg grabbed his arm as an act of voter intimidation and locals tell A4L that it is a complete and utter lie.
The complaint was dismissed because the allegation, even if true, does not constitute voter intimidation. It was further dismissed because the OAH only constitutes primary/general election candidates as “candidates”, which means someone like Bernie Penner who only competed for a party endorsement does not meet the definition.
As seen in previous A4L reporting, Penner was defeated by conservative Mark Striemer for the District 10A GOP endorsement. Rather than dusting himself off and learning from his mistakes, Penner continues to surround himself with bad company including RINO Josh Heintzeman puppet Kirsten Smith. Seeing some of the legal trouble Heintzeman gets himself into, Penner should know better than to align with his puppets!
Bernie Penner is experiencing the fall-out from working with the Establishment and trying to use lies to seek revenge. Conservatives must be vigilant to ensure they don’t fall into the same traps used to trick Penner. The only path of redemption for Penner is to move on from being defeated, disentangle himself from RINOs, and drop the bogus attacks against Sen. Wesenberg.
The Establishment is using Penner as a pawn and he would be a fool to not wake up to that reality. Patriots across Minnesota are seeing first-hand what happens when you partner with the Establishment to attack the Grassroots: You end up getting dragged down while the RINOs find the next person to manipulate.
Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with anti-establishment, bold, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. Anyone interested in viewing the entire OAH decision to dismiss Bernie Penner’s bogus claims against Wesenberg can be seen below:
There’s a moral aspect as well. Bearing false witness against another is prohibited in the Ten Commandments. In this case, as determined by Judge McKenzie, misconstruing Senator Wesenberg’s action as “voter intimidation” is the false witness. Under the Civil Law of Moses, Mr. Penner would face the same penalty he sought for Senator Wesenberg, i. e., the sentence for a gross misdemeano (Deuteronomy 19:15-21). We can hope the embarrassing dismissal would be sufficient to deter him from more such misbehavior.
