Minnesota legislator: Help, help, I'm being oppressed by Democrats' demands to resign
Hot Air
Have Democratic governor Tim Walz and his DFL colleagues in the legislature turned into "oppressors"? Or is state representative John Thompson just desperate to escape the consequences of his own actions and law-enforcement record?

...Yesterday, Thompson refused to resign after several arrests for domestic abuse emerged after a traffic stop that revealed Thompson using a Wisconsin drivers license. Not only did he and his wife dispute whether any domestic abuse occurred, Thompson suggested that he was being oppressed by demands for his resignation:

    Rep. John Thompson said Monday that he will not resign amid reports of previous domestic abuse allegations that his wife and a group of supporters denied in a news conference outside the State Capitol.

    "If you’re not careful, the oppressor will have you believe that they’re the ones being oppressed," said Thompson, DFL-St. Paul. "One of the greatest quotes I’ve ever heard in my life is your life begins to end when you remain silent about things that matter the most. I will not remain silent. I will not be resigning."
What an idiot! Just announce that you've converted to Islam, and see all accusations of domestic abuse go away.
