East metro legislators condemn white supremacist demonstration in Vadnais Heights on Saturday
Six legislators from the Twin Cities east metro issued a joint statement condemning a demonstration on a Vadnais Heights overpass by a white supremacist group Saturday.
“We strongly condemn the hate-filled demonstration today that took place in Vadnais Heights. This display of racism and xenophobia does not represent our community, and we will not tolerate any group promoting such violence and bigotry,” the statement read. “We denounce any ideology or group that seeks to dehumanize people based on their race, ethnicity, religion or any other identity. We stand together against hatred in any form and are committed to building a community where everyone feels safe and valued.”
The joint statement was from Sen. Heather Gustafson, DFL-Vadnais Heights; Sen. Tou Xiong, DFL-Maplewood; Sen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville; Rep. Brion Curran, DFL-White Bear Lake; Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL-Roseville; Rep. Peter Fischer, DFL-Maplewood; and Rep. Kelly Moller, DFL-Shoreview.
