Minnesota Democratic Party Convention Plunges into Chaos.

The Minnesota Democratic Party is holding an emergency meeting to ban individuals engaged in violent assaults from its ranks after a tense confrontation erupted at an event to nominate candidates for a Minneapolis City Council seat. Supporters of two candidates clashed, with allegations of assault from both campaigns. The convention was adjourned without a nominee being chosen, and at least two people were reported injured. The chairman of the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party condemned the violence and will propose a bylaw to ban individuals engaged in violent assaults from the party.
