Trumpy Minnesota Governor Hopeful Bails on Republican Party

A Republican has dropped his bid for Minnesota governor and his support for Donald Trump’s party after the GOP’s “unmitigated disaster” approach to immigration enforcement in his state.

Chris Madel, a Minneapolis attorney who provided legal counsel to an ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good, said he was ending his gubernatorial bid after a second protester was killed on Saturday by a border patrol agent in the state.

“I cannot support the National Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so,” he said in a video posted to social media on Monday.
