DFL Party Statement on Stauber’s Support for Overturning the 2020 Presidential Election

Today, DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement in response to Congressman Pete Stauber adding his name to an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election:

“By signing onto a clear plot to undo the decision of American voters, Congressman Pete Stauber has confirmed once and for all that he’s nothing more than a far-right extremist willing to place his political party ahead of the United States Constitution.

“If the lawsuit Stauber backs is successful, it will help bring about the end of American democracy by invalidating millions of votes and placing an unelected man in the most powerful office in the world.

“Stauber’s support for a thinly veiled coup attempt should disqualify him from holding public office again in the eyes of all Minnesotans. Since Stauber is willing to place his political party before his country, Minnesota voters from across the political spectrum should respond by placing their country before their party and voting out Pete Stauber.”
