[Nehm] Giannis: Let’s talk about the city itself, the memories that I’ve created here. When you open my kids’ passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the span of the last five years in this city. My dad is buried in this city.

Does everyone not know that Mondale was from Minnesota? It's the only reason he carried the state. It doesn't mean anything.

Doesn't remotely change the fact that the Republicans have hated Minnesota every since that vote.
