Press Conference: Lawsuits Against Keith Ellison and the Board of Medical Practice

Today, we filed suit against Keith Ellison and members of the Board of Medical Practice. Dr. Scott Jensen v. MN Board of Medical Practice, et al was filed in the Minnesota Federal District Court and Dr. Scott Jensen v Keith Ellison, et al was filed in Minnesota State District Court - Carver County.

Here is the rundown from our suits against Keith Ellison and the Board of Medical Practice:

"-For nearly three years, the MN Board of Medical Practice and its members launched a series of illegal investigations into Dr. Jensen's practice of medicine.

-These investigations violated Dr. Jensen's rights to First Amendment protected public speech, and did not involve specifically the practice of medicine.

-The Board went beyond its scope of jurisdiction

-The Board was weaponized by investigations intended to chill Dr. Jensen's speech related to COVID-19, as he expressed a viewpoint that was sharply critical of the prevailing and official narrative.

-The Board retaliated against Dr. Jensen for public comments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

-Attorney General Ellison withheld data based on the possibility that Dr. Jensen might publicly speak about the data, and some other person might then be upset with the Defendants for what the data shows."

For three years, while I was a sitting State Senator and while I was running for governor, the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice hovered over me as a weaponized agency. Attorney General Keith Ellison joined that harassment as a political actor. My rights were violated, as were the rights of so many to speak freely during the COVID-19 pandemic and afterwards. We are going to take this lawsuit as far as we need to in order to protect the rights of physicians and all other professionals who have dissenting voices. The silencing and intimidation of political adversaries cannot become the norm in America.

We are going to stand up for the free speech rights of doctors and professionals. We'll take these suits as far as we need to in order to ensure the chilling of free speech that happened to me can never happen again.
