This is such a dishonest corporate media frame of both side-ism. According to the (billionaire/Republican-owned) Strib "MN politicians" broke their promise to "soften their tone." Which totally ignores (and excuses ) that the ugliest, most violent rhetoric consistently comes from.......Republicans.
Amid contentious debates about public safety and immigration, many elected officials returned to the same sharp rhetoric that defined politics before last June 14.
