One between Niska and state Rep. Samantha Van, D. , where Niska made several assumptions about the legislation.

Vang argued that while not all incidents are considered violent or criminal, this type of rhetoric is “motivated by prejudice” and “can be considered as an incident of prejudice. “
Niska said Veng’s reaction was “very worrying. “
He asked Vang some other query to ask if anyone dressed in a “I love J. K. Rowling” would be added to the database.
“If a Minnesotan citizen wears a T-shirt that says ‘J. K.

Vang advised that this would be better, responded through lawyers, adding: “I’m not going to say yes or no to this Array. “
