Despite holding the Speakership and a shared majority in the state House of Representatives, House Republicans have been an abysmal failure by caving to radical Democrats instead of fighting for conservative principles. Among other RINOs, Speaker Lisa Demuth deserves particular blame.

A major point of contention during the end of the legislative session was the issue of illegal alien adults receiving taxpayer funded healthcare. While our own citizens struggle to pay their bills and make ends meet in Minnesota, Democrats chose to prioritize giving free healthcare instead to illegal aliens. Initially, it seemed Republicans were drawing a hard line and would not allow this to pass, however, it appears things have changed.

The Walz/Demuth/Hortman/Murphy budget deal had a series of set agreements, among them was stripping the funding for free healthcare for illegal alien adults. Democrats have since continued to push to add this spending to the deal whether it be in the Health omnibus bill (HF2435) or in a stand alone bill.

In a 6/4/25 press conference, Speaker Lisa Demuth appeared to pivot on the question and suggested that if a stand alone bill on this issue was taken up that the GOP could allow it with a “contingency”. What exactly would Demuth and the GOP caucus want in return? From the sounds of it, Demuth is not asking for a cut in government, in fact, her contingency would be giving MORE money to the “MDH”, perhaps something like pregnancy centers. We presume Demuth is referring to the MN Dept. of Health when she says “MDH” in the press conference. She may argue that she is instead pursuing a redirection of funds. It is not immediately clear which GOP Reps would join Demuth to pass this Democrat agenda item. This can be seen at the 2 minute mark in this press conference.

You read that right, RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth is CAVING to radical Democrats on funding for free healthcare for illegal aliens!

In the above-mentioned press conference and in a 5/19/25 press conference, Demuth has referred to illegal aliens using ultra-woke, leftist terms like “undocumented immigrants”, “undocumented people”, or even "undocumented Minnesotans"! Are these our friends and neighbors or are these uninvited invaders? We have dealt with years where millions of criminals have poured across our open border under Biden and Lisa Demuth is busy trying not to offend them instead of stripping all Socialist benefits for them! Is Lisa Demuth in the same party as President Trump?!?! Republicans won the election nationally under the America First vision on immigration set forth by President Donald Trump, instead of implementing that policy, Demuth is working with Democrats against it.

Lisa Demuth has earned her nicknames of empty suit Lisa ‘Kamala’ Demuth or Demuth Equity and Inclusion (DEI)! She stands for nothing and is a fake conservative! As Speaker, Demuth has brought to the floor and passed massive, unconstitutional omnibus bills containing radical Democrat policies including (among other things) budget increases for ANTIFA Keith Ellison & the LGBTQIA2S+ Council, taxpayer funded abortions, and DEI in schools. A Speaker ultimately decides which bills will be calendared each day which means Demuth bears the most responsibility for the corruption we’ve witnessed in the House this session. 

If MN Democrats are able to teach us anything, it is that they draw lines in the sand and are willing to enforce that viewpoint in total lockstep until the bitter end. Meanwhile, spineless RINOs abandon the conservative base to advance themselves higher into the Uniparty Swamp.

Republicans have pissed away all of their power and leverage by conceding to woke Democrats and maintaining the bloated, over-spending big government by pushing a left-wing, surplus-killing budget deal which will be the 2nd largest budget in our state's history. Conservatives across our state are fed up with crooked RINO politicians telling voters what they want to hear during elections then backstab them once they get into office.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the RINO politicians as the incoming special session nears. As the leader of the conservative grassroots movement of our state, we will never sell-out or abandon our liberty conservative principles. We are a threat to the Establishment because we expose their game and all of the corrupt players. We will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the conservative grassroots and reject the RINO Uniparty Swamp tactics to keep government bloated.
