Watching the Whip 👀
Daily accountability on Rep. Tom Emmer (MN-06)
Votes • Tweets • Money
📬 http://mn06watch.substack.com
On Caucus Day, while Minnesotans gathered to participate in democracy, their Republican congressional delegation introduced a bill to punish them for it.

The Minnesota Voter Integrity Act would defund the state's election security until we hand over voter data to Trump's DOJ.

🧵 NEW: Emmer's Fraud Theater

I analyzed TV transcripts, tweets, and his voting record to answer one question:

Does Emmer's fraud rhetoric match his legislative record?

Spoiler: It doesn't.

This morning Tom Emmer was on Fox News complaining about this funding deal. Now he’s saying let’s get it done.

Did he get new marching orders?

Two tweets from Rep. Emmer today.

One about West Virginia. One about the shutdown.

Zero about Minnesota.

This morning, Tom Emmer was on Mornings with Maria. I transcribed and summarized the appearance and it's available below. Summaries, key quotes, and topics are all searchable. Building out the database as we speak. Follow along to see the receipts.

It’s amazing that Emmer issued this statement on 1/6/2021. Found it quickly through the Tweet Database I made logging all of his tweets the last 10 years.

Liam Ramos is home.

The 5-year-old in the bunny hat is back in Minnesota after a federal judge called his detention "ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented."

Four other students from his school district are still in Texas.

DOJ prosecutors resigning. Positions filled via DM. Political pressure on cases.

Remember when Rep. Emmer called J6 prosecutions “weaponization”?

Funny how he’s silent now.

Tom Emmer warned about "weaponizing" the justice system.

Then Trump's DOJ indicted opponents, fired prosecutors who refused, & arrested a journalist after 2 judges said no.

Emmer cheered. Same system. Different targets.

Video shows agents swerving to cut off the driver, then immediately exiting with guns drawn.

Three federal agents pointed weapons at someone for watching.

Rep. Emmer says "the solution is simple: Cooperate with federal law enforcement."

A rural Minnesota police chief disagreed.

"That mob is not reflective of Minnesota."
48 hrs earlier, St. Cloud voted 6-1 for a "welcoming community" resolution. His own district.
I listened to Emmer on Sid & Friends so you don't have to. 🧵

Minnesota proved DHS inflated ICE statistics by 1,000+ people. Four days later, Tom Emmer went on Hannity to amplify them anyway.

The receipts are documented.

Emmer tweets about School Choice Week while Anoka-Hennepin schools in his congressional district report student anxiety from ICE enforcement. Has he met with district officials? Or just posted graphics?

528 days without a town hall means we don’t know.
January 28, 2026 at 2:45 PM
This is critical. Rep. Tom Emmer told Fox News to ‘thank the president for getting the worst of the worst off our streets’ but if 68+ of these were routine prison transfers, not street arrests, that’s a manufactured narrative. Did he know? Did he check Minnesota data before going on national TV?
January 28, 2026 at 1:23 PM
This morning: ICE deployed tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool.
Video shows parents screaming "This is a preschool! There's kids here!"
These are the "paid protestors" Emmer dismissed on national TV.
January 28, 2026 at 1:38 AM
BREAKING: Federal report on Alex Pretti shooting contradicts officials' claims. Tear gas deployed at Minneapolis preschool. Anoka-Hennepin schools in crisis.
Tom Emmer praised these operations by name. Now? Escalating rhetoric.

Monday night, Rep. Tom Emmer got 2.5 minutes on Hannity to address Alex Pretti's killing.

He said "paid agitators." He thanked Trump. He blamed Walz.

He didn't say Alex Pretti's name.

I got the full transcript. 🧵

ICYMI: Documented the MN GOP House delegation’s response today.

Three issued statements Saturday.

Three didn’t attack Walz today. One thanked him.

Then there’s Emmer.

None of them have addressed Madel directly. But here’s how they responded to today’s developments:

Emmer’s the outlier - attacked Walz while everyone else stayed quiet or called for cooperation.

January 27, 2026 at 12:15 AM
Actually, there's a contrast worth noting. Today:

Stauber - RT'd Trump praising Walz
Fischbach - Praised Homan
Finstad - Thanked BOTH Trump and Walz, called for "cooperation"
Emmer - Attacked Walz, only one not acknowledging de-escalation

Emmer's three MN GOP House colleagues all issued statements Saturday.
Emmer amplified DHS's staged evidence instead.
Monday: While his colleagues stayed quiet, Emmer went on the attack.
