Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe speaker addresses an attack ad from Lisa Damath alleging involvement in a $100 million earmark. The speaker denies the claims, stating they actually worked to block the funding. They further criticize the ad's funding, noting that millions have been spent by a Wisconsin billionaire and Trump donor to influence the Minnesota gubernatorial race.
I do want to ask you about an ad that is running from Lisa Damath.
It's her ad in which she is attacking you, and you can tell because it's always very
unflattering pictures of people in the ad, but she's accusing you.
She's saying that you were involved in a $100 million earmark to an organization.
Never was paid.
There's no criminal charges.
There's no indictments.
What's it like having an ad like that run against you?
Well, you just kind of go on with your day and say, what can I put out there to help
Minnesotans instead of this?
Because what is really important for people to know is that I actually was the one that
pulled that funding back.
I was the one that made the calls to say we shouldn't put in this funding request, and
guess what?
It was never funded.
So that's the one thing I want Minnesotans to know, but I want them to know something
else.
Four million dollars have been spent on attack ads on me, and the vast majority of it is
coming from a billionaire from Wisconsin who's one of Donald Trump's top donors.
So if he is going to be the one that's picking the governor for Minnesota, I don't think
they want a Packers fan doing that.
And the second thing I'll say is that, you know, she may be his choice for governor.
I want to be the choice of the people of Minnesota.
All right.
