After Republicans faced devastating losses across Minnesota in State Senate races, grassroots conservatives demanded new leadership. Instead of delivering on that, Establishment RINOs maintained control of the MN Senate GOP caucus.

RINO Jordan Rasmussen was selected to be the new Senate GOP Minority Leader. Sources tell A4L that Senators Jason Rarick and Jeremy Munson also ran for the Minority Leader position, with Munson getting second place with eight votes.

Rasmussen was previously one of five Assistant Minority Leaders for the Senate GOP and he has now been reshuffled to the top. Three other RINO Senators including Julia Coleman, Karin Housley, and John Jasinski held onto their Assistant Minority Leader positions.

GOP Senator Michael Holmstrom posted on social media his dissatisfaction with the results of the Senate GOP leadership votes, arguing that leaders in charge should be punished when they fail to obtain majority control. See below:

One of the major reasons Republicans lost in Minnesota is because they failed to inspire the base. RINO legislators like Jordan Rasmussen made deals with Democrats to grow government, give MN massive debt, and pass unconstitutional omnibus bills. Nothing will change if the Establishment maintains control of the GOP!

RINOs clearly learned NOTHING from the recent election results. The very people who caused GOP defeat should not be rewarded.

Capitol insiders let A4L know that some RINO leaders are telling GOP legislators that they should embrace Democrats and not be confrontational. This pathetic strategy would make the Democrats more powerful while making Republicans more obsolete.

GOP legislative leaders have one real card to play against the Democrat trifecta: Blocking the bonding bill. A bonding bill gives MN hundreds of millions to billions of dollars worth of debt and requires 3/5ths support from both legislative chambers in order to pass. Democrats do not have 3/5ths control over either chamber, which means Republicans can use the bonding bill as their biggest piece of leverage. Unfortunately, Senate RINOs have selected leadership that always votes for bloated, corrupt, debt-ridden bonding bills.
