The Minnesota Democratic Party will consider expelling anyone involved in a brawl that broke out over nominations for a Minneapolis City Council seat.
Convention chair Sam Doten called the behavior embarrassing and adjourned the event without a nominee being chosen, saying it was no longer safe, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how the party will proceed with choosing a nominee.
At least one person was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not believed to be life threatening, the newspaper said. A second person was treated at the scene. The scuffle reflects the polarization of politics, both across the country and in Minnesota, where the Democratic party is divided between far-left and moderate forces, said Hamline University political science professor David Schultz. Race and generational differences are also a factor, he said. Meanwhile, the longstanding political practices of conceding a loss and respecting differences of opinion are becoming a lost art.
