Wedge LIVE!

The Mickey Moore Episode


Listen Later

John is joined by Jason Garcia and investigator Taylor Dahlin. Taylor has untangled the web of mystery and deceit that surround the Mickey Moore campaign for Minneapolis City Council in Ward 9. Questions beget more questions in the quest to understand the real Mickey Moore. Does Mickey Moore really live in Ward 9 where he is currently running for City Council? Did he ever live in the 5th District when he ran against Ilhan Omar last year? Or has he always lived with his family in Oak Grove, as photographic and other evidence uncovered by Taylor seem to indicate. Oak Grove is not in Ward 9. It's not in Minneapolis. It's not even in the 5th Congressional District. Why is Mickey Moore, someone with a glaring residency issue, attacking his opponent for guilt-by-association with a residency scandal? What is the League of Minneapolis Homeowners and why does it exist nowhere besides Mickey Moore's endorsement page on his website? Was this fake group invented to make it look like Mickey Moore has supporters? How has this buffoonish candidate attracted the support of prominent local figures like Tom Hoch and Don Samuels. Do they have no shame? And what's the deal with Moore's small business? Why is there a white man in a Halloween style dreadlock wig on the website for Moore's "hair saloon"? And why does Mickey spell it "hair saloon" and not salon? Why is John so deeply embarrassed about having done an entire episode devoted to Mickey Moore? We ponder these questions and more on a special Mickey Episode.
