Jeff’s Monday Morning Monologue (011225): New Hampshire is Not Minnesota, Thank God

“We’re Not Minnesota” – NH Governor Kelly Ayotte

Events outside the State of New Hampshire (Minnesota finds itself in an unwelcome, divisive political spotlight), as well as inside the State (a Possible ICE Facility in Merrimack), have many Granite Staters not only commenting but also asking: ‘Could events happening in Minnesota happen in New Hampshire?’

NH Governor Kelly Ayotte discusses the issue during her weekly press availability, as well as NH 1st CD candidate Sarah Chadzynski, referring to ICE as Gestapo.

The Morning Update host Jeff Chidester kicks the morning off with a look at why NH used to differ from states like Minnesota when it comes to our response to these types of events……but not such much lately.
