Letters to the editor: Say no to political fear mongering

I find it distasteful, disheartening and sad that Jeff Dotseth, Minnesota House of Representatives District 11A candidate, has stooped so low as to participate in fear propaganda. A September meeting agenda notice posted online was revealing.

Questions to invited participants incited fear that local polling places would be closed down, stopping people from voting, and “Are you prepared for when they (BLM) come to your city? Do you have a network of Patriots that you can count on?”

Wow. This manner of inciting fear in our communities is deplorable. We have good people, salt of the earth people in our communities. We do not need the likes of Dotseth inciting fear, which can lead to hate and violence in our beautiful district.
