Misleading Claims about Kamala Harris and Wind Farms
During a speech at the Republican National Convention, Rep. Tom Emmer misleads by claiming Vice President Kamala Harris freed a criminal who went on to murder a man in St. Paul. The individual was not a protester released due to Harris' actions but rather someone released by the Minnesota Freedom Fund for misdemeanor charges. Wind farms, while having some negative impacts, result in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
