Republican Tom Emmer says the flap over Target Corp. giving money to a group supporting him in the Minnesota governor’s race is getting personal.
Emmer weighed in for the first time Thursday on the reaction to Target’s $150,000 contribution to MN Forward, an independent political fund running ads that support him. The state lawmaker opposes gay marriage, and some Democrats and gay rights activists are calling for a boycott of Target and posting protests on social media websites.
“The sad part to me is, I thought we were supposed to be able to exercise our rights of free speech,” said Emmer, a fiery conservative who is his party’s likely nominee for governor.
