Craig & Phillips flip-flop on anti-police bill

Angie Craig & Dean Phillips flip-flopped on their support for ending qualified immunity, the Star Tribune reports.

Star Tribune: “Amid Republican criticism of their votes, Phillips and Craig are now publicly separating themselves from that provision. ‘While I supported much of the Justice in Policing Act, I did not favor the language on Qualified Immunity,’ Phillips… said in a statement. ‘I voted to forward the legislation to the Senate with the hope and expectation that negotiations would generate a compromise.’ Facing a tough re-election race for her swing seat, Craig said her ‘thinking has evolved’”

NRCC Comment: “This election year flip-flop won’t fool Minnesota voters. When it mattered most, Angie Craig and Dean Phillips backed pro-crime policies that hurt law enforcement.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
