Norm Coleman, former Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota & former Senator from Minnesota, calls into his first cousin Sid's morning show to discuss political and social turmoil in Minnesota following yesterday's tragedy in an ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis. Coleman criticizes state and local leadership — particularly Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey — for failing to unify communities and for past mismanagement during events like the George Floyd riots. He contrasts today’s political climate with his own leadership experience, calling for accountability and healing. Coleman also reflects on the broader political divide in Minnesota, describing it as a deeply split state where disorganization among Republicans has hindered change despite widespread frustration with Democratic leadership.
