Hagedorn holds town hall in La Crescent just after announcing return of cancer
One area Congressman’s fight against cancer isn’t over yet.
Minnesota Republican Jim Hagedorn tells a town hall audience in La Crescent that there’s been a recurrence of the kidney cancer that was first found two years ago.
“This past weekend, I was at Mayo Clinic, they did some tests, and they found that it had come back, that it resurfaced,” said Hagedorn on Wednesday. “Means I have to go on a different regimen of drugs, not something that’s dissimilar from many, many people.”
and says he’ll continue to serve “with the highest level of energy and enthusiasm.”
The 1st District Congressman from Minnesota has held his first town hall meeting since the election, and a few contentious exchanges marked the event.
Audience comments led to disruptions a few times, such as when Hagedorn argued that improper changes were made in the fall elections.

One of the many “alternative facts” he presented was the idea that critical race theory, a subject for university level discussion, is being used to indoctrinate children in public schools. Mr. Hagedorn would do well to read the following article from the American Bar Association.

Not an insurrection?

Seems to me that objecting to the commission for political purposes is abhorrent!
