The Minnesota GOP tossed its support behind Royce White, a former Black Lives Matter protest leader turned GOP Senate candidate, in the race to replace Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
The Republican Party of Minnesota tossed its support behind Royce White, a former NBA player and Black Lives Matter protest leader turned GOP Senate candidate, in his bid to oust Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar. The state party's decision to back White came at the Minnesota GOP convention in St. Paul's RiverCentre on Saturday. White, a former professional basketball player, was introduced on stage at the convention by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
'm a 'We the People' guy through and through,' White told Minnesota's Star Tribune on Saturday. White unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination to challenge 'Squad' Rep. Ilhan Omar for Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District during the 2022 election cycle, losing to fellow Republican Cicely Davis in the primary election by more than 1,000 votes.
Amid Israel's war with Hamas, White took to X in December and claimed, 'Israel has a right to exist but not to be the lynchpin of New World Order.' 'I pray my Jewish brothers and sisters stop letting their identity be used to justify globalism. . . . The same way I pray Black people stop letting their identity be used to justify marxism.
The operative placed some of the blame on the state party's nominating committee, which allowed White to be on the convention's endorsement ballot as 'qualified, with reservations.' White is one of several Republicans who were seeking the GOP nomination. Minnesota holds an August 13 primary election, and the deadline to register for the primary is June 4.
