He’ll talk affordability on Fox News, but he won’t talk about it anywhere he’ll get push back or to anyone that has receipts.

Rhetoric vs. Reality #3: The Affordability Fraud Emmer campaigned on affordability. Then ICE enforcement disrupted schools, businesses, and families across his district. We analyze the cost.

864 tweets about grocery prices. 0 about the grocery workers afraid to show up.

Emmer built his brand on affordability. Then he cheered on an operation costing MN businesses $10-20M/week.

RvR #3 is live.

The Echo Chamber: When Your Congressman Has Two Faces MN-06 Daily: February 7, 2026

Precisely why I started MN-06 Watch. Emmer’s form letters, silence on constituent concerns, his town hall gap—it’s systematic. When you document the pattern, it becomes undeniable. Follow along, sub (it’s free) and share to hold him accountable with receipts. mn06watch.substack.com/p/the-echo-c...

Building an accountability database and trying to hold whoever represents MN-06 accountable. Would love to talk about how we can all do that together.

Elk River is in MN-06. This is Emmer’s own backyard.

I don’t ask this often, but please follow and subscribe to help hold Emmer accountable.

Precisely. Emmer is busy endorsing out of state candidates while not addressing and working with his constituents.

The Two-Face energy was intentional 🎭

NEW: The Echo Chamber

Rep. Emmer on Fox 9: "Every illegal alien served with an administrative warrant has already had full due process."
The government's own training materials say otherwise.
One face for Fox News. One for Minnesota.

Q10: How does Trump's endorsement help Republicans break the 20-year statewide losing streak?

The answer: It doesn't. It might threaten Emmer's own seat.

Trump is 0-3 in Minnesota with -20 approval. His endorsed candidate just lost a TX +17 district. MN-06 is only +13.

Especially when you’re in a position of authority. Just transcribed his interview on Fox 9 yesterday. To say his rhetoric and tone was vastly different is an understatement. Compare and contrast of his national media appearances coming later today.

Question 1: What specifically are you endorsing—policies, character, or conduct?

The answer: All three.

Emmer voted against Trump accountability measures, defended him through every prosecution as "witch hunts" and called him "Patriot of the 21st Century."

It’s what I documented yesterday: Emmer lectures about ‘hateful rhetoric’ and ‘dangerous language’ — but when Trump posts racist content depicting the Obamas as apes, he goes silent. While other Republicans condemned it, hespent the day attacking Walz and Omar. mn06watch.substack.com/p/the-one-he...

Tomorrow morning: 10 Questions Rep. Emmer Won't Answer About Trump's Endorsement

Using @mbrodkorb.bsky.social 's framework + my databases:
- 14,148 tweets analyzed
- 6,000+ votes tracked
- 778 media appearances reviewed
- 3 years of receipts

The pattern is undeniable. Publishing 6 AM Central.

I get the skeptism, but I can't choose my rep. He's mine. That's reason enough to hold him accountable. Follow along to see what happens next. Or don't, but it's at least worth trying.

Safe districts need more scrutiny. Without electoral pressure, reps answer to less people. I’m documenting Emmer’s neglect of MN-06 while positioning himself nationally. The receipts don’t care about margins. (Also: R just lost a special election in a Trump +17 district. MN-06 is only R+13.)

This is the pattern I’ve been tracking: Emmer’s SCAM Act rhetoric, his ICE cooperation praise, and the silence on what that looks like in MN-06. Chavez is describing the real cost. His newsletters celebrate the mechanics while constituents experience family separations.

Exactly. I’ve documented Emmer’s SCAM Act rhetoric and his silence on anti-Somali targeting. That rhetoric has consequences—from ICE operations in Minneapolis to the broader anti-immigrant climate. It’s the same pattern Cotlar’s identifying. Follow along if you want to see the receipts on Emmer

Emmer’s federalism is conditional. Opposes it for Michigan, embraces it for Minnesota—as long as Republicans benefit. That’s not principle, that’s leverage. Track it with us: mn06watch.substack.com

It's time for MN-06 to hold their rep accountable. Follow along as we put together the receipts

MN-06 has not been sending their best...

The pattern:

Emmer polices everyone else's rhetoric.

But when Trump posts a video depicting the first Black president as an ape?

Silence.

914 days without a town hall. Five out-of-state endorsements this week.

Full breakdown: mn06watch.substack.com/p/silence

This week's votes:

H.J. Res. 142 — Emmer: YEA
H.R. 4090 (Critical Minerals) — Emmer: YEA
H.R. 7148 (End shutdown) — Emmer: YEA (passed 217-214)

No floor votes Feb 5-6 per the congress.gov. Updates can sometimes be delayed.

Meanwhile in Minnesota:

Schools suing to keep ICE 1,000 feet away
Fridley attendance down 1/3
7 Columbia Heights students detained
Superintendent followed by ICE after speaking out
County attorneys calling federal proposals "outrageous"
14 DOJ attorneys quit in one month

UPDATE on yesterday's lead:

The 6am raid at Eat Street Flats wasn't immigration enforcement — it was a cyberstalking warrant.

11 agents. Smashed glass. Tactical gear.

For a case typically handled with a knock on the door.

DHS is treating Minneapolis like occupied territory.

What Emmer did instead:

Attacked Walz — "TWISTED!"
Attacked Ilhan Omar (twice)
Endorsed his 5th out-of-state candidate this week (GA-14)
Reminisced about his 20-year Sharia law crusade
Promoted his Fox News appearance
