We give the Rochester Post Bulletin's Matt Stolle credit for not burying the lede in Hagedorn says he's 'feeling and doing well':
A spokesperson for U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn said the congressman is "feeling and doing well" and "handling his official duties and continuing to fight for America," a week after a phone call recording appeared on social media in which his wife and former Minnesota Republican Party Chair Jennifer Carnahan was heard offering a dire prognosis of his condition.
"As he undergoes new cancer treatment, he is working to reset his immune system and gain strength and defeat this disease," said Lia Palazzo, Hagedorn's communications director.
Read the rest at the Post Bulletin. We recommend prayers for the congressman's health, whatever our readers' opinions of his politics.
As for the fate of Hagedorn's friend and donor Anton Lazzaro, Andy Mannix reports Minnesota GOP activist Anton Lazzaro to stay in jail while facing charges of sex trafficking underage girls.
Good.
