Dem Official Says Burning Police Station Was ‘Act of Pure Righteousness’ – By Patrick Hauf (Washington Free Beacon) / Aug 10 2021
Minneapolis party chairman says ‘decorum’ is ‘hallmark of white supremacy’
The head of the Minneapolis Democratic Party defended his claim that the burning of a police building during the George Floyd riots last summer was an “act of pure righteousness.”
Devin Hogan, chair of the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, argued in an August column for Southside Pride that the burning of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis during the riots last year was justified as a “genuine revolutionary moment.” Police fled the building in May 2020 as rioters broke in and set the building on fire.
In a statement issued on Monday, Hogan defended his comments as accurate and truthful.
“Fetishizing decorum over substance is a hallmark of white supremacy,” Hogan said. “If antiracism offends your sensibilities then please use this moment to examine the role you play in maintaining and upholding these systems. Which side are you on?”
