AlterNet reports:
A far-right Republican state lawmaker from North Dakota is lashing out at the University of Minnesota law school after the school reiterated that he was not a student there. Rep. Brandon Prichard, who was elected in 2022, has made numerous comments and anecdotes about attending the University of Minnesota Law School.
According to Fargo, North Dakota newspaper The Forum, Prichard recently commented about being a law student at the University of Minnesota at the end of the most recent legislative session while speaking against a wind energy bill.
But when the law school posted to X that Rep. Prichard was not enrolled there, he took to the airwaves to attack the school for having an alleged bias against Christians, and suggested he may sue the law school for unspecified reasons.
The Forum reports:
“It’s just ridiculous the things that people are coming at you with,” Prichard said during an Oct. 9 episode of “Ladies of a Different View,” a television show that is among the extreme right-wing programming offerings from BEK Communications.
“If you look at the person who is behind the social media account, they have clearly anti-Christian things on their page,” he said. “I believe that this was politically motivated in a lot of ways.”
But when asked by one of the hosts just what it is he’s studying at the University of Minnesota, Prichard filled the airwaves with bluster before saying he’s currently an undergraduate.
Brandon Prichard has said that he’s a part-time student of the University of Minnesota law school attending virtually. Law school officials say they don’t offer part-time programs.

North Dakota state Rep. Brandon Prichard—who declared that every member of Congress must “submit to the Gospel of Jesus Christ”—insists that he’s not a Christian nationalist while literally advocating for the Christian nationalist agenda. https://t.co/IOCPEGuxRn pic.twitter.com/kG3oIAGtIV

GOP’s Brandon Prichard accuses law school of anti-Christian bias after it confirms he lied about attending. In Prichard’s world is alright to lie about attending the university but when caught it’s not alright for the university to say he never attended? https://t.co/GLLzKC1OQ7

Every conservative state should put into code that Jesus Christ is King and dedicate their state to Him.
Force RINOs to say no to Jesus and then brutalize them in elections.
We need a government of Christians, not fakers.

The US Senate and House should have a fitness test every year.
Very simple.
Every member of Congress must do 5 sit-ups, 5 push-ups, 1 pull up, and submit to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
How many would make it?

Conservative and liberal states need to seperate their power grids from each other.
The war on coal, natural gas, and oil will not stop and if conservatives think there is common ground, they are wrong.
Political power will depend on who can turn their lights on.

All schools should have LGBTQ history taught and lesson one should be Sodom and Gomorrah.

Pornography should be illegal.
Conservative legislatures should wield their power and ban porn for both children AND adults.
It serves no positive benefit in society, destroys men, and treats women as objects.
It’s not enough to stop at banning porn for children…
