A Minnesota state politician has endorsed members of a family who participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, promoting a fundraiser on Facebook for what he calls “a good family.” Republican state Sen. Mark Koran wrote that the members of the Westbury family were just people “who could use some help” fighting charges for “a variety of crimes.” In Koran’s view, some of the charges were “very serious” while others “seem to be just to punish opposing views.” “All I’m asking is that they need assistance to mount a fair defense from an over bearing Dept of Justice. They are a good family!”

(A family that trued to undermine our democracy is NOT a "good family".)
