Another week, another Trump-related scandal, and still Erik Paulsen won’t tell voters how someone like Donald Trump could “earn his support.”
In fact, he wouldn’t even tell two Twin Cities reporters, who were forced to air this embarrassing clip one more time for the Twin Cities market to see:
Reporter: “We tried to ask him, ‘Do you support Donald Trump?’ He doesn’t want to tell us
Paulsen continues to run away from reporters’ – and voters’ – questions on who he’ll support for President. This comes even after Paulsen’s hometown paper publicly admonished Trump for having “crossed a line” by making a political donation to the Florida Attorney General as her office was looking into complaints that Trump University had scammed students out of thousands of dollars.
As the Star Tribune editorial board wrote, “Voters who still believe Trump will shake up the establishment should look beyond his words to his deeds.” That goes the same for Members of Congress.
“If Erik Paulsen believes he can coast from now until November without ever telling voters how Donald Trump can ‘earn his support,’ he is sorely mistaken,” said Sacha Haworth of the DCCC. “Erik Paulsen and Donald Trump both want to overturn Roe v. Wade and oppose same-sex marriage and commonsense gun violence prevention measures, and while Paulsen may try to run from Donald Trump, he won’t be able to run from the views that both he and Trump share.”
