Minnesota lawmakers are reviewing legislation involving ‘dangerous and scary’: rep. finke recounts 2023 legislative session with ilhan omar, an issue with potential local implications in Como.
The first-term legislator from St.
Paul frequently accuses those who don’t share his views on gender of committing “genocide.” Finke said the session became “dangerous and scary” after he introduced a bill to make Minnesota a “refuge state” for kids seeking sex changes, claiming GOP House members acted with aggression towards him.
Finke also implied that he faced death threats and harassment for bills he carried during the session.
Dawn Gillman accused Finke of yelling at and intimidating her on the House floor, leaving her “fearing for my personal safety.” According to Gillman, Finke later apologized.
During the discussion, Omar and Finke explained that many people coming to Minnesota for “gender-affirming care” are “uprooting” to move to Minnesota, rather than traveling only for treatment.
Finke said that the state should be prepared to offer these people resources like housing in addition to transition services.
He belittled those who call gender-affirming care “child mutilation,” saying that most children don’t medically transition.
As the measure advances, residents of Como can follow amendments and contact Athena Hollins regarding the final language.
