A leader of any political party is tasked with growing public support, maintaining support with the party’s base, and uniting different factions under shared principles. In Minnesota, party leaders must also support the will of their party which is expressed through endorsing conventions. MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash is failing on all fronts as he released a statement from the party attacking Mike Lindell and slighting the party-endorsed candidate for Governor, Kendall Qualls.

Plechash used party resources and the party website to put his message out. This message came in response to President Trump endorsing Mike Lindell for Governor. Plechash also failed to utter Kendall Qualls’ name in the press release, showing clear bias for Liar Lisa Demuth. See statement below:

Since Lindell is the candidate leading in primary polls and is someone who could very likely be the nominee, it is foolish for Plechash to attack someone he may end up being forced to support. Plechash is giving the Democrats exactly what they want by fracturing the GOP base and agitating grassroots conservatives who support the Lindell campaign. Mike Lindell has publicly said that he paid his current and previous property taxes, which makes Plechash’s main attack line irrelevant. Plechash’s attacks beyond that are simply rhetoric and ridiculous conjecture.

Even further, Alex Plechash is required by the MNGOP Constitution in Article XVII, Section 6 to act in the best interest of party-endorsed candidates. See below:

This is not the first time that Plechash has undermined Kendall Qualls after Qualls won the MNGOP endorsement. Following the state convention, Plechash released a statement that says Lisa Demuth is not required to abide by the endorsement and he uses the voting clickers (a self-imposed Plechash problem) as his excuse. By undermining the will of delegates and the Qualls campaign, Plechash is causing further disunity. Plechash's statement allowing candidates to primary Qualls was later retracted by the MNGOP State Executive Committee.

Plechash could have taken the opportunity to promote Qualls but instead he doesn't name him and says "Other Republican candidates". This is an obvious wink and nod to Lisa Demuth and shows Plechash is not abiding by the MNGOP Constitution.

One thing is clear: If Mike Lindell or Kendall Qualls is the Republican nominee, Alex Plechash appears incapable of leading the party to victory. Supporters of Lindell and Qualls may decide that Plechash should no longer lead the party, which is already being discussed by some MNGOP State Central Committee delegates.
