Radical leftist Xiongpao (XP) Lee has been declared the winner in the House District 34B special election defeating Republican businesswoman Ruth Bittner. This seat became vacant following the assassination of former Speaker Melissa Hortman, who tragically was murdered with her husband and dog by a crazed lunatic.

In a moment where maturity is needed and political violence/political assassinations must be totally condemned, XP Lee misses the mark. Lee has posted at least twice on social media the code “8647” which is linked to assassinating President Trump. This was first reported by Alpha News just one day before the HD34B special election. See below:

“8647” received major national headlines in May of this year due to deep state Establishment hack James Comey sharing these numbers written with seashells. As became nationally known in that month, these numbers indicate the desire to, at best, impeach President Trump and, at worst, assassinate President Trump. The use of numbers as opposed to outwardly using words indicates that this code was a signal to far left extremists in support of political violence. Note that XP Lee’s June social media posts came after Comey's post in May was called out (and Comey later apologized) for posting the exact same thing, indicating that Lee likely understood the meaning. As someone who came into our country as a refugee, one would think Lee should be more appreciative of the nation and not seek violence against our elected leaders.

The assassinations and assassination attempts against Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman, Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump, and other less recent examples shows that radical beliefs are growing. When Kirk was publicly killed for holding open and fair debates on college campuses, many on the left celebrated or justified his killing in ways we’ve never seen the political right act.

America is at a Turning Point and cannot allow radical Democrats to continue radicalizing our country by labeling over half of Americans as Nazis, authoritarians, and Fascists. Those who celebrate, justify, or imply their support of murdering political opponents are the true authoritarians and must be held to account. Debate can and should be combative and tough but we cannot accept it devolving into murder.

If the shoe was on the other foot, Democrats would not seat this individual in the Legislature. They would make a huge stink and would dig their heels in. Now Republicans must man-up and maintain their 67-66 Majority heading into Walz’ gun control special session by rejecting XP Lee’s election certificate. In other words, the GOP House Majority is gone if they seat XP Lee.

According to Article 4, Section 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, the state House is the judge of the election returns and eligibility of members. MN Statute 209.10 Subd. 5 lays out the process for a legislative hearing on the election contest, establishes that a majority vote determines a member’s eligibility, does not allow the individual in question (XP Lee) to vote on the issue, and expressly does not limit the House’s Constitutional authority as the judge of their chamber’s election returns. 

XP Lee’s social media posts have made it clear, he is not fit for office and is using codes to show support for political violence. Republicans hold the House Majority and Lisa Demuth holds the gavel, they do not have to concede when it is clear that the left would rather we be dead than engage in fair debate. It is within the GOP’s power to play hard-ball politics and they would be rewarded by the grassroots for doing so.

Revoking Lee’s election certificate would be a signal that Republicans have grown a spine and understand the reality of the political storm we find ourselves in. This action would also serve as a moment of redemption for the House GOP who caved to Democrats at the beginning of session by seating radical leftist Brad Tabke despite his race being decided by fewer votes than the 21 ballots that Scott County admitted were trashed! At that time, only Reps. Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) voted against the rule package that allowed Tabke to be seated and recognized the Democrats’ illegitimate swearing in ceremony. Some Reps wish they had never seated Tabke and have realized they’ve gained nothing for it. As usual, A4L was right all along and the House GOP cannot screw this up again!

One may worry that the House Rules prevent Republicans from removing XP Lee since GOP Leadership foolishly agreed that 68 members are required to reject an election certificate however, the rule in question (9. Election Contests) is not contained within the regular rule package that carries over from regular sessions. Instead, this rule is #9 of the section titled "Agreement for House organization 94th regular legislative session February 5, 2025". This means that the rule requiring 68 members to reject an election certificate is NOT applicable! That rule applied only for the regular 2025 session, the GOP can remove Lee with 67 votes. If they wish to send the election contest to the Ethics committee first, they are free to do so but are not required by the rules to do so.

The Left is killing conservatives and celebrating it, the Left has lost the moral highground. The coded implications of assassinating President Trump by XP Lee shows he cannot meet the moment to fill this seat at this time. Had the social media posts been widely known before the election, Lee likely would have received less votes and more conservatives would have turned out. The dark irony of XP Lee taking the seat of an assassinated politician can be avoided if all 67 House Republicans hold strong and refuse to seat him.

XP Lee has also received endorsements from all kinds of crony, evil leftists including Obama AG Eric Holder (Mr. Fast and Furious), MN AG ANTIFA Keith Ellison, Planned Parenthood, a Democrat gerrymandering redistricting committee, and radical Left LGBTQIA2S+ groups. It is clear whose interests he’d be serving in the legislature and it's not the people of Minnesota. As the final and ultimate judge of eligibility for office, the House GOP can take action and determine Xiongpao Lee to be ineligible for the HD34B seat.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to lead the grassroots conservative movement and chart the course for liberty in our state. We encourage Patriots to reach out to their Representatives on revoking the election certificate of XP Lee and can do so here. Those interested in signing our petition to support Sen.
