Is MNGOP out to get Jeremy Munson?

On Thursday, we posted MN Jobs Coalition turns on Munson; spent $82,308.24 against 2018 special election DFL opponent Melissa Wagner.

Since we don't regularly read Alpha News, we missed the postcard at the top of this post, which accompanies Alpha News' Minnesota Republican establishment attempts to take out conservative Jeremy Munson. Anthony Gockowski reports:

The Minnesota Republican Party has allegedly refused to provide material support to one of the State Legislature’s most conservative lawmakers in his primary race.

The Minnesota GOP has endorsed Rep. Jeremy Munson, R-Lake Crystal, for reelection, but the party’s support for the legislator essentially has stopped there. Munson is one of the only GOP-endorsed incumbents in the Minnesota House with a relatively competitive Republican challenger, that being Yvonne Simon.

“I have received tons of support from my local Republican county parties. As the endorsed candidate, they have rallied behind my campaign, providing thousands of dollars in direct contributions and volunteers have been putting up signs and door-knocking for my campaign,” said Munson, stressing the fact that county parties support his campaign.

But the Minnesota GOP is “silent in my race,” he said.

Munson was one of four lawmakers who broke from House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt’s leadership in late 2018 to form the New House Republican Caucus. . . . .

We're not a fan of Representative Munson, but attacking him as hanging with the DFL seems on the order of the Dorr Brothers' Minnesota Right to Life video ambush, MCCL Endorsed Glenn Gruenhagen's Planned Parenthood Support EXPOSED!.
