MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A motorist drove on the lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul and waved a Trump flag during a press conference for embattled lawmaker Rep. John Thompson.
According to WCCO’s Esme Murphy, a woman in an SUV drove on the lawn late Monday morning, interrupting a pro-Thompson news conference. Then, police and supporters of Thompson surrounded the vehicle in a “tense confrontation.”
