Cloaked Figure Stirs Up Drama At Minnesota Caucus Gathering
Are Republicans cursed?
Only in Minnesota, right?
Things got weird Tuesday night at the Clay County Republican caucus in Dilworth. Party members were gathered, votes were counted, and on paper everything looked normal enough: Kendall Qualls finished on top with 30 votes, Mike Lindell followed with 23.
And then… yeah. Not normal.
According to witnesses, an unidentified man suddenly stood up and started cackling. Not chuckling. Cackling. He was reportedly wearing a green cloak, a cross necklace, and carrying a red cane—because of course he was.

Given everything that’s happened politically the past few months, both parties have been on edge for anything out of the ordinary. This definitely qualified. A few men approached him and began escorting him toward the door. That’s when he turned back to the room and started shouting, accusing the crowd of supporting the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti through their votes.
As he was being ushered out, he delivered the final flourish:
“I’m a witch — I hex all of you!”
You can imagine the mood in the room after that.
The crowd sat in stunned silence until one attendee suggested they pause for a moment of prayer… you know, just in case hexes are real.
Caucus organizers say this is the first time they’ve ever dealt with a heckler at a caucus. The individual didn’t leave behind any identification, so for now, his identity — and possibly his species — remains a mystery.
