NEWS: On July 18th, 2024 the MNGOP’s Endorsed candidate for US Senate Royce White took on liar Joe Fraser in a debate hosted by the Minnesota Federation of Republican Women (MNFRW) and moderated by MNFRW President Kelly Jahner-Byrne. The full debate can be viewed here. Fraser had previously refused to agree to other debates when challenged by Royce.

HIGHLIGHTS: Royce White commanded the debate by initially noting that he is participating because he is a competitor and will take on Fraser despite him pledging to abide by the endorsement. Fraser dismissed this and argued that Royce did not abide in 2022 and he felt a need to fill in the gap. 

A clear distinction was made between White and Fraser over foreign policy and forever wars. Fraser offered a neocon, anti-America First vision that overextends our country’s brave military and diminishes our credibility around the world. This includes continued support for the Ukraine War which plunges our country further into debt. Meanwhile, Royce championed the anti-war, anti-Globalism sentiments of the grassroots MAGA movement and President Trump. White supported an end to the forever wars and seeks to get the US out of “all sides of the trade” (i.e. funding both sides of a conflict). White then made the larger point that forever wars and debt are intertwined pointing to the necessity of major cuts while Fraser made an argument to cut DEI funding in the military (which isn’t even a drop in the bucket of our national debt). Of course, Royce White would support ending DEI funding and implementation in the Dept. of Defense as well.

Royce also took on the smears that he has been attacked with by the fake news media including the child support payment allegations. White states that he was court ordered to pay child support at the salary of a NBA player despite no longer playing in the NBA. He pointed to the larger judicial and family court problems in our country that favors mothers over fathers.

DOWN GOES FRASER: Toward the end of the debate, Royce White dropped a TRUTH BOMB when asked a question about politicians changing the definition of ‘woman’ to conform with the transgender doctrine. Royce stated Fraser “capitulates to the social pressure and norms of queer theory on their own social media page” and further said “They’d have to shoot me in the head before I put he/him pronouns on my LinkedIn bio!” This was in reference to Joe Fraser’s LinkedIn bio including ‘He/Him’ pronouns! Fraser rebutted this with a FAKE allegation by saying “I do not discard people just because they’re different unlike Mr. White who voted for Joe Biden”. Fraser threw another few phony attacks at Royce which he swatted down with ease in his closing statement, including a corrective statement where Royce says he wrote in Tulsi Gabbard and did NOT vote for Biden.

FACT CHECK: As evidenced by a Royce White post on X, Joe Fraser’s public LinkedIn profile contains “He/Him” pronouns in his bio. See below:

IN HINDSIGHT: Joe Fraser did not impress on any substantial front and remains uninteresting to most voters. He is now thought of as a woke neocon liar and he has never held political office! The exposure Fraser received was neutralized and countered by Royce’s presence and words. Royce's campaign benefited from his participation despite having no obligation since he had beaten Fraser once before. Fraser had refused to debate up until this point and like Biden, this Joe is realizing that a debate with an America First Warrior is a bad idea!

FLASHBACK: Joe Fraser pledged to GOP delegates across the state that he would abide by their endorsement at the State Convention. This was announced at the convention and was reported across MN media. This is not a fact that Fraser disputes, but rather he justifies his lie by smearing Royce’s character. Fraser was demolished by Royce during the state convention, where Royce won 67% of the vote on the first ballot! 

DEBATE TOPICS: Plan to defeat Amy Klobuchar, Media attacks on candidates, National debt, Military spending, Foreign Policy, Immigration/Borders, Police, Anti-semitism, College campuses, Free speech, Trump/MAGA, Winning suburban and city voters, DEI, Transgenderism policy, and Future of our country

ENDORSEMENTS: Royce White has earned the support and/or endorsement of the MNGOP, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, political prisoner Steve Bannon (Royce's mentor), Infowarrior Alex Jones, as well as many state senators (like Nathan Wesenberg), representatives/future reps like Drew Roach, activists, and voters across Minnesota. That endorsment list shows exactly why many voters believe Royce will make a real change in Washington DC. Meanwhile Joe Fraser has only been able to lock down the endorsements of desperate RINOs trying to keep their names relevant, this includes: former State Sen. Michelle Benson, former State Sen. Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, failed candidate Kendall Qualls, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former US Sen. Norm Coleman, and former US Sen. Rudy Boschwitz. Four of the six lost their last primary and all six lost their last election, what an out of touch crew! No wonder the RINOs are endorsing their only hope of blocking an America First Champion in Royce White.
