March madness: Minnesota Lt. Gov. picked NCAA brackets by which states offer abortion
This really is March Madness!
Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan posted her office pool brackets for the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments on social media – to let everyone know she picked the winners based on which states offer legal abortion.
“I filled out my brackets based on whether those schools are located in a state that protects access to abortion care,” the Democrat “By this measurement, it’s only fair that Minnesota didn’t make the tournament because they’d have beenဣ a favorite for the t🦄itle.”
She said in matchups where teams were from states “that guarantee abortion access with little to no re𝔍strictions,” she went with the higher seed.
“I did the same if there w🔯as a matchup of teams from states that have banned abortion,” she added.
For those still trying to keep score, she wound up with the top-seeded University ♓of Connecticut Huskies winning the men’s bra♈cket and the top-seeded USC Trojans winning the women’s bracket.
The latter decision apparently had nothing to do with USC’s mascot having the same nam♛e as a popular condom brand.
As expected, her picks were no slam dunk on social me🎶dia and💞 scored plenty of pushback.
“Posts like this make me so glad I left☂ Minnesꦫota,”
“Good LORD just when I thought you couldn’t get more embarrass༒ing cringe and grotesque,” “I hope you enjoy getting roasted.”
