A Navy veteran seeking to represent Minnesota in the Senate says Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.,’s silence on a number of issues, particularly the southern border crisis and the economy, shows she is ” selfish” and “not very serious.” about protecting Americans.
“She has been silent on the border issue. She has been silent on creating jobs for Minnesota as it relates to the Iron Range and our mining capabilities that we have there. We have billions of dollars in revenue and jobs, and she is “I haven’t done anything to help,” Joe Fraser, a Republican running for public office for the first time, said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“The national debt has tripled under his watch and the border is less secure,” he added. “She ran to secure the border 18 years ago. She wanted to close the border and fix immigration. Now she is all for open borders, no immigration policy. You won’t find that change of heart on my part.”
The recent arrests by federal immigration authorities of eight citizens of Tajikistan with links to ISIS in three major cities, Fraser said, further reinforces the idea that Klobuchar and other Democrats in Congress “are not serious about foreign policy and security or the security of the nation or the protection of American citizens.”

The Tajikistan nationals, who are said to have crossed the US southern border illegally, were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement along with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a federal source told Fox News on Tuesday. The arrests took place in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia in recent days.
“They’re putting the rights of ISIS members before the rights of Minnesotans, they’re putting them before the rights of Americans,” Fraser added. “They’re doing it for their personal, selfish needs. They’re not doing it for the needs of the people and the national security needs of this country.”
Fraser insisted that Klobuchar’s lackluster advocacy for a “strong foreign policy” has also contributed to her inability to successfully represent Minnesota in the upper house.
“She has done nothing to advocate for a strong foreign policy to keep radical nations like Iran at bay. Her support for the Iran nuclear deal gave us more or less what we have right now in the Middle East, where warships of the US Navy are being attacked. shot daily by Iranian weapons that were provided to the Houthi rebels.
Drawing a contrast between himself and Klobuchar, who first won election to the Senate in 2007 and is seeking a fourth term, Fraser said he has “no desire” to serve in the Senate for an extended period and vowed not to serve at any time. . more than two terms.
“YO “I realize that I work for the people and not for the party,” he said. “I will be an advocate for the people of Minnesota and will not forget where I came from.”
Before she can take on Klobuchar in the state’s general election on Nov. 5, Fraser will have to outdo her rivals in the Republican primary, scheduled for Aug. 13.

Furthermore, in the midst of Israel’s war with Hamas, White turned to
When asked about the Minnesota Republican Party’s endorsement of White, Fraser, who considers himself the “only adult in the room” among a crowded field of rivals in the GOP primary, said he believes the state party made a “ill-informed decision” and “failed to make the decision.” ball” when examining White.
“I think they made an ill-informed decision,” he said. “Keep in mind, it was a fraction of the percentage of people who voted for the party. One of the reasons I’m running in the primary is because I believe Minnesotans deserve an election, and they deserve an election based on what what do they know.”
White unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination to challenge a member of the “Squad” Representative Ilhan Omar for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district during the 2022 election cycle, losing to fellow Republican Cicely Davis in the primary election by more than 1,000 votes.
“I think the state party failed when it came to conducting background checks and validating Mr. White’s credibility and eligibility. We’re seeing that now. Every day something new comes to light,” Fraser added.
