About this episode

Rep. Beth Van Duyne discusses the ongoing protests in Minnesota and her legislative efforts to combat organized violent riots.

Minnesota has been on fire for weeks, but this is nothing new for the city of Minneapolis. The last time the city saw organized protests and violent riots at this level was in 2021 during the George Floyd riots. “They [rioters] are so anxious to distract from what is actually happening in Minnesota, all the massive fraud that’s going on,” Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal on the latest episode of “The Signal Sitdown.” The fraud, originally uncovered in Minnesota, is now being discovered in other states. While the fraud was new, these organized and professional protests and violent riots have been popping up across the country for years now. Duyne joined Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin to discuss how she is combating these organized violent riots in Congress using the RICO Act. The RICO Act currently combats organized crime, and Duyne’s Stop FUNDERs Act seeks to broaden RICO to organized violent riots. “One of the reasons why I have introduced my Stop FUNDERs Act is that you are seeing these massive protests against folks like Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the congresswoman explained. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily…
