Moriarty says Walz criticized her because she's 'queer.' His supporters call the attack shameful.

[question everything]

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty alleged publicly again Tuesday that DFL Gov. Tim Walz treats her differently than her male predecessor because she's a queer woman, a claim swiftly rebutted by the governor and his allies.

Moriarty initially made the comment to a Star Tribune reporter on Sunday as she revealed that she would drop the murder and manslaughter charges against State Trooper Ryan Londregan in the shooting of Ricky Cobb II last summer during a traffic stop.

The top prosecutor in the state's most populous county talked at length about her critics, including the governor, saying they are delegitimizing the system.

She said the criticism was personal as well. "I never saw this happen to my predecessor," she said in the interview. "Why is the governor treating me this way? Why is the governor questioning me is something I've asked myself and others quite a few times."

When asked why she believes that to be the case, Moriarty said, "I think it's because I'm a queer woman in this role. I think it's because he looks at the political winds and which way they're blowing and I think that's what he reacts to, which is horrible."

It does not occur to her that she is just bad at her job?

1. She's bad at her job. I hope Martha Dimick runs against her again.

[question everything]

6. The party should not have endorsed anyone for a nonpartisan office. Same with the sheriff

Many thought that Dimick was a Republican.

7. She'd have been good at the job, though.

I agree that the party shouldn't have endorsed anyone and that the office of county attorney should be as nonpartisan as possible, like judges.

2. Can be both....

Overcoming bad management, or a bad boss, shouldn't be the bedrock task of any job. Being nitpicked, micromanaged, and harassed in the press, is s good plan, if the goal is failure.

3. That pretty much did it for me. Up until now, I tried, with great difficulty, to keep an open mind about her,

but I just can't anymore.

That's outrageously pathetic.

4. "She thinks. She thinks."

Apparently not.

How unfortunate of her to act like this.

5. If she can't separate her personal life from her work, she needs to find another career.

8. She's very bad at her job.
