Tell Media: Stop Echoing “Enemies of the State” Rhetoric

A conservative news host recently declared Minnesota officials — including Mayor Jacob Frey, Gov. Tim Walz, and Attorney General Keith Ellison — to be “enemies of the state,” labeling their responses to federal immigration enforcement and public safety as treasonous.

This kind of inflammatory language from a major cable news network doesn’t just misinform — it dangerously dehumanizes public officials and contributes to political polarization. When media outlets repeat or normalize such extreme rhetoric without clear correction, they fuel division and erode civic norms.

Add your name to demand that media outlets stop amplifying “enemy of the state” rhetoric — and start challenging incendiary claims with facts, context, and responsible reporting.
