by Minnesota Republican Chairperson Jennifer Carnahan was visually upset last night when no one showed up to her ‘Stop the Steal – Asian Pacific Islanders for Trump’ party. The press pool, which included Minnesota Loonatic, were the only people attending the event held at Carnahan’s favorite restaurant – Chuck E Cheese in Bloomington.
At first, Carnahan appeared optimistic that people would show up late. But as the 7 pm start time came and went, she grew visibly angry. At one point a member of the press pool yelled “when can we expect the guests”. Carnahan turned and screamed at the individual, stomped her feet, and locked herself in the bathroom for 30 minutes.
Minnesota Loonatic’s reporter on the ground, Tobias Anderson, heard Carnahan making phone calls from the bathroom. At one point, a member from the Pioneer Press opened the door slightly to hear the call better. Bathroom doors in the party rooms do not lock from the inside for child safety reasons. Carnahan appeared to be in a conversation with a political consultant from her husband’s office.
She emerged from the bathroom with a written statement. “As an asian, female, small business owner, immigrant, designer, I am humbled by our coalition’s dedication to stopping the steal” stated Carnahan. “I threw a party for them as a break for their tireless work, but they instead decided to continue working to stopping the election from being stolen. I couldn’t be more proud of their commitment.”
Carnahan refused answering questions and left the event shortly after with the 10 bottles of champagne.
