Shortly after he appeared on my radio show on April 2018 to tout his candidacy in Minnesota's First Congressional District, Jim Hagedorn, who would be elected to his first term in Congress later that year, sent me a friend request on Facebook. I accepted, and we have been connected ever since.
This past week, less than two months after Congressman Hagedorn passed away, I saw in my FB news feed that he had "updated his cover photo."
It's a lovely photo of Jim and his wife Jennifer Carnahan from their wedding three years ago. I assumed it was Jennifer making the change. Kinda weird, but whatever.
As the day wore on, independent journalist Michael Brodkorb noticed that someone (**koff** Jennifer **koff**) was actively tinkering with the deceased Congressman's personal Facebook account.
UPDATE: According to Facebook, “Jim Hagedorn limited who can comment on the post” about the recent change to his Facebook cover photo. This is becoming more and more bizarre. See the picture below. #MN01 pic.twitter.com/ydklq8ytjQ

So it appears that Carnahan was doing this more to enhance her campaign for the Congressional seat vacated due to her husband's death than to post poignant memories.
If all that weren't creepy enough, Jenny then drafted a bizarre fundraising letter essentially co-opting the accomplishments of Hagedorn's Congressional tenure.
NEW: Below is a ludicrous fundraiser letter from Jennifer Carnahan, running for Congress in #MN01. In her letter, she takes credit for the defeat of ISIS, passing trade agreements, and cutting taxes. I've never read anything like it before. It's delusional and devoid of reality. pic.twitter.com/dvwFgaiVJm

At the end of the day, Carnahan's actions are making it very clear that she believes the voters in CD1 are incredibly naïve. Here's hoping GOP voters remember this lunacy come primary day on May 24.
