Self-Described Witch Disrupts Minnesota GOP Caucus, Crowd Responds With Prayer

The outburst invoked recent ICE-involved Minneapolis fatalities, marking a first-time disruption for the county caucus.

Overview

  • An unidentified person in a green cape carrying a red cane interrupted the Clay County GOP caucus at Dilworth Elementary and declared, "I’m a witch" and "I hex all of you."
  • The interruption came immediately after a gubernatorial straw poll was read showing Kendall Qualls with 30 votes and Mike Lindell with 23.
  • The heckler accused attendees of responsibility for the deaths of Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti through their Republican votes.
  • Two men escorted the person from the room before an attendee led a prayer to "cancel that curse," drawing a unified "Amen" from the crowd.
  • Organizers said they had never seen a disruption at their caucus before and reported the individual left no observer form, leaving their identity unknown.
