In a recent interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Schultz described litigation spearheaded by the Democratic state attorney general as "frivolous," arguing that it has "zero chance of succeeding" and is "fundamentally motivated by headlines and pleasing one side of the political aisle."
"The Attorney General's Office is not supposed to be engaging in far-left political activism, or activism of any kind," the Republican candidate said. "I will not engage in things like this that are fundamentally about business harassment."
