NEW: Let's start this 🧵 at the very beginning -> http://mbrdkrb.com/4aKk5Cl

I published an extensive thread last month about Sen. John Hoffman's conflict of interests, AJ Lagoe's reporting, and other connected issues. Please make sure to read this thread for background details.

Lagoe's tactics as a journalist have been frequently criticized - which he seems to enjoy.

He boasts online that he loves "getting cease & desist letters!" He frames the criticism as "they're so nervous…"

It's arrogant and unprofessional. Journalists aren't always right.

One of the many concerns of Lagoe's reporting is his use of biased or questionable sources.

I've discussed Sen. Hoffman and Randy Anderson in this thread. But this week I learned about another source of Lagoe's: Jon David Kittelsen.

Who is Jon David Kittelsen?

@bbbreakpod becomes my new favorite. This week`s episode is no exception.
@aleryrl and I spoke with Sarah Gad - DFL candidate for Congress in #MN05.

Gad has overcome personal challenges to become a strong advocate for criminal justice reform. Now she is running for Congress - a fantastic journey.

Gad is a Democrat; Becky and I are Republicans. We had a healthy discussion about policy.

But momentarily, we set partisan labels aside, and I talked about Gad`s journal and the importance of people hearing her story.

"We may disagree about partisan issues, but the world needs more people like you. And the world also needs to hear that there are chances and that people can get second and third chances. I`m a product of second, third, and fourth chances."

Becky led the interview, and she did a fantastic job. I wanted to listen. You`ll hear why in this clip.

Please listen to the full interview. If you do, let me know your thoughts.
