Keith Ellison goes full clown sues rodeo
 [AlphaNewsMN] Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has found time away from his multiple suits against the Trump administration and is instead turning his attention to a rodeo. The rodeo took place in Itasca County, next to Bemidji, where Grand Rapids is the county seat. According to Ellison's own press release, his office is bringing an "enforcement action against [a] rodeo that defied COVID-19 safety precautions." The rodeo was put in place by North Star Ranch, LLC. According to Ellison's press release, he is bringing the "enforcement action" against the rodeo company for "carelessly" allowing "large crowds to attend its annual three-day rodeo without taking required safety precautions against the spread of COVID-19." The (pro Antifa, CAIR endorsed) Democratic attorney general appears to be specifically incensed by a comment that the owner of the rodeo made on Facebook, which Ellison's office mentions in its press-release. After talks broke down with state officials about the safety precautions that the state would require at this outdoor rodeo, the owner of the rodeo posted on Facebook: "The North Star Stampede will take place with no spectators. If people would like to come and protest against this ridiculous Government Overreach, feel free to do so, I will not stand in the way of people's Right to Assemble." Here, the owner was making a clear reference to the mass protests and riots that have occurred in the wake of George Floyd's death, which were both allowed and encouraged by state and local officials. One person who attended the rodeo later tested positive for COVID-19, but it is unclear if this person got the virus from attending the rodeo. Ellison's press release put it this way: "The North Star Ranch's violations are even more disturbing as the Minnesota Department of Health recently learned that at least one attendee has tested positive for COVID-19 and was infectious at the time they attended the rodeo." Days later, a headline from the (Red) Star Tribune read that "Minnesota reports 622 new COVID-19 cases, no more from the rodeo yet." Then a Fox 9 headline made it sound like an outbreak had occurred because of the rodeo: "At least 1 attendee infectious with COVID-19 at northern Minnesota rodeo, thousands possibly exposed." Photos from the Fox 9 article showed a relatively light crowd. So far, there has been no outbreak because of the rodeo, and it doesn't appear that major (POS) Minnesota media outlets have followed up to report that.
