The deeper one looks into the turmoil and apparent corruption engulfing Minnesota, the more evident it becomes that the Democratic Party there functions both as the engine of the disorder and the primary beneficiary of it.
At the center of the latest controversy is Jamael Lundy, a senior aide to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who serves as her intergovernmental affairs coordinator and is tasked with liaising with local, state, and federal officials. According to RedState, Lundy also operates a business called Homes for Homies Property Management LLC, which advertises that it is provid[e] affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.
Lundys personal and professional profile reads like a checklist of progressive credentials, tightly interwoven with the Democratic political machine that dominates Minnesotas urban centers. He is married to St. Paul City Council member Anika Bowie and has previously worked for Minnesota House Rep. Carlos Mariani (D), the Democrat House Caucus Campaign, Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-04), and the state teachers union.
His boss, Mary Moriarty, has been backed by organizations that receive funding from left-wing billionaire George Soros, whose influence on local prosecutors races nationwide has coincided with surging crime and collapsing public order in many Democrat-run cities. It is hardly surprising to many conservatives that Minneapolis, a city often cited as a liberal hellscape where lawlessness appears to flourish, is sustained by Soros-aligned interests and their ideological allies.
Moriarty herself is reportedly under scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly factoring racial identity into decisions about whom to charge, a practice that would undermine the bedrock principle of equal justice under the law. That investigation, if substantiated, would place her office squarely in the crosshairs of a growing national backlash against race-based policymaking in prosecution and sentencing.
Against this backdrop, new revelations suggest that Lundy was not merely a passive observer but an active participant in a radical disruption of religious worship in St. Paul. Reports indicate that he joined a group that stormed Sunday services at Cities Church, turning a house of worship into a stage for political agitation and intimidation.
Before the disruption, Lundy was interviewed in the church parking lot by livestreamer Don Lemon, who has been accused by critics of helping orchestrate the ambush and could potentially face federal charges for his role. People are fighting back and organizing, in large part without support from officials, local officials. There are some people who want to be involved, local officials, but theyre doing this all on their own, this is all grassroots, Lemon said, before pulling a man from the crowd and asking: Without giving out what the operation is, why are you out here?
The man was Lundy, who used the opportunity to present himself as both activist and aspiring lawmaker. Im here to support our community activists. Im currently a candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 65. I feel like its important if youre going to be representing people in office, that youre out here with the people as well.
Video from inside the sanctuary later shows Lundy appearing to raise his fist in defiance as the mob disrupted the service, targeting church leaders and congregants. He is seen chanting the name of one of the pastors and shouting "OUT, OUT" and Who shut this down? We shut this down, while another agitator can be heard yelling, "This aint Gods house, its the house of the devil."
The spectacle was not merely a spontaneous outburst but emblematic of a broader pattern in which left-wing activists feel emboldened to invade private and religious spaces with little fear of legal consequences. One viral description summarized the situation starkly: One of the protesters who took over a church service and screamed "shut it down" works for Minneapolis's local prosecutor, is married to a St. Paul councilwoman, is running for state Senate, and runs HOMES FOR HOMIES taking Section 8 money and steering it to black criminals.
Another widely shared account highlighted the disconnect between the narrative of grassroots activism and the reality of entrenched political power. Don Lemon interviewed Jamael Lundy from the crowd at random and asked him about how the crowd was "grassroots." But Lundy is the Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, handling the prosecutor's communications with federal officials.
Legal scrutiny is already circling Moriartys office and the broader Minneapolis political apparatus. @HarmeetKDhillon is already investigating Moriarty for taking "racial identity" into account when making charging decisions, and HUD is investigating Minneapolis for giving minorities preference when it comes to housing subsidies. Lundy is involved in both.
At the center of those concerns is Lundys Homes for Homies venture, which he operates while drawing a taxpayer-funded salary from the local prosecutors office. Homes for Homies, which he runs while working for the local prosecutor, seems to amount to taking Section 8 vouchers from the feds and intentionally steering them to people "of color" and (this FB post implies) also illegal immigrants.
This arrangement bears an uncomfortable resemblance to the broader Minneapolis housing controversy now under investigation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Federal officials are probing whether housing funds were improperly directed on the basis of race and ethnicity, examining allegations that subsidies were steered toward people of color, Indigenous people, and/or immigrant communities.
For many conservatives, the Lundy affair encapsulates a deeper rot within Minnesotas Democratic establishment, where ideology, activism, and public money intersect in ways that erode trust and undermine the rule of law. Minnesota Democrats are portrayed less as a conventional political party and more as a tightly knit operation that blurs the line between governance and self-enrichment.
Within this ecosystem, Soros-backed prosecutors are seen as shielding activists from accountability, activists in turn intimidate citizens and institutions, and federal dollars flow into nonprofits and housing schemes that advance a racialized political agenda. No one in this closed loop appears to face meaningful consequences, and there is little indication that Lundy will be an exception.
He stands instead as a predictable product of a party that, critics argue, has traded law, order, and basic civic decency for power, grievance politics, and orchestrated chaos. In a state where this machine remains firmly entrenched, it would surprise few observers if Jamael Lundy not only avoids accountability but ultimately wins his election.
