The CD6 MNGOP party unit is one of the most corrupt examples in our state of RINO Establishment control that will rig the process against the Grassroots. This district is home of the Republican Majority Whip (#3 most powerful in Congress), Globalist RINO Tom Emmer and the party unit is run by his puppet, Bobby Benson. 

Benson is paid $130,000 per year by Emmer despite being CD6 Chair, which is an obvious conflict of interest. How can anyone expect Benson to be fair and neutral as Chair while he is paid by Emmer? One never bites the hand that feeds them. This should be prohibited, as it is in the MNGOP Constitution Section 4 Part B, see below:

There was an attempt by delegates to insert similar language into the CD6 Constitution but it was blocked from a convention floor vote by the three person Resolutions committee. See below:

In today’s CD6 Convention, grassroots conservative Jodi Welsh attempted to take on Benson for the Chair election but was BLOCKED from even speaking! This was the ONLY race that had two candidates, all others were unopposed. The grassroots is so much of a threat to the RINO Emmer wing that they refuse to even allow competition! Like Communist China or Dems who tried to remove Trump from our ballots, CD6 RINOs want uniform, unanimous lockstep thinking to prevent real conservatives from taking power.

This has been on display before at CD6 conventions. In 2024, professional golf caddy Chris Corey ran against Emmer as an America First alternative and tried to compete for the endorsement. Despite meeting every requirement laid out for him in the CD6 Constitution and rules, they blocked Corey from being allowed to speak or compete for the GOP endorsement. Many saw unhinged Rep. Walter Hudson’s true colors on that day as he advocated for censorship and the RINO gatekeeping nominations committee. In the end, Corey was kicked out of the convention for daring to fight and speak up.

In the case of Jodi Welsh, she reportedly also met every requirement laid out for her in the CD6 Constitution and rules but also had to face a nomination committee that was rigged against her! Sources say that Jodi was asked strange and personal questions like if she could afford daycare to allow her the time to do the CD6 chair job! Perhaps she should have said “Yes, especially if Emmer is going to pay me $130K a year like Bobby Benson!”

Reportedly, Welsh was informed around 9PM last night that the NomCom was going to find her to be unqualified and not allowed to compete! Welsh is a hardcore conservative activist who is very involved politically. She passed out the following flyers highlighting all of her work for the Republican Party, see below:

A4L is told a vote was taken by the body to let Welsh speak but it was closely defeated (sources believe the vote count was 91 in favor of letting her speak and run for Chair and 120 in opposition). Under the guise of appearing fair, Benson allegedly told delegates he wanted to let Jodi speak. This is likely just more deception and lies from Benson to make his corruption look less obvious. If he truly wanted to let Jodi speak, why couldn’t he convince his own supporters to do so?!?

After A4L forced the truth to come to light on the MNGOP paying $30,000 to ‘white dude for Kamala’ Michael Brodkorb, one has to wonder who else in the MNGOP knew, including the Emmer circle that RINO David Hann was loyal to. Instead of fighting the corruption from within the party, Benson and other RINOs have targeted and attacked the grassroots like bogus condemnation of A4L and the further disenfranchisement of Otter Tail delegates. Sources say the topic was not even brought up during the convention.

Jodi Welsh was not the only person blocked from speaking at the CD6 convention as U.S. Senate candidate Royce White was also told he could not address the body by CD6 party leadership. Royce took to X and unleashed a fire-breathing response to his censorship by CD6. Considering that Royce had large support from CD6 during the previous election and has gotten standing ovations from their delegates in the past, it comes as no surprise that the Emmer world is threatened by him (especially when he calls out Emmer for the neocon Globalist RINO, Ukraine War lover that he is). 

Attendees tell A4L that Royce chewed out several RINOs during the convention including RINO Jim Nash and Tom Emmer! They also say Emmer and Royce were nose to nose while Royce kept his hands behind his back and they began to be crowded by attendees, police located at the event, and secret service officers. Royce explains some of the exchange on X.

The corruption in the CD6 Republican Party is rampant thanks to Tom Emmer and his loyal stooges in positions of power. Conservatives across our state have woken up from the RINO cult and want to see the Republican party fight and deliver for We The People. The establishment shows their cards and corruption more and more every day. The only way they will be defeated is with more grassroots participation. A4L will continue to champion the battle for liberty by standing shoulder to shoulder with the conservative grassroots of our state!
