Calling Dems' minimal demands "unreasonable," Homan:
- says racial profiling is "just not occurring," contrary to many videos everyone has seen
- lies about "assaults" against officers to justify masks
- says "they all have placards" about what agency they're working for, suggesting that's enough
- says racial profiling is "just not occurring," contrary to many videos everyone has seen

Homan: "When they say 'stop racial profiling' -- that's just not occurring. ICE will briefly detain and question somebody based on reasonable suspicion. It has nothing to do with racial profiling."

Is there any responsible reporting on any of this? Was looking for Star Tribune coverage of the exchange but couldn’t find any.
Hawley ended up getting so aggressive toward Ellison, including calling for his arrest, that even Rand Paul asked him to tone it down

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
