1. She was charged with burglary, which is a crime.

She does not necessarily need to resign yet, depending on what happens with those charges. The fact that the incident apparently arose from some unfortunate family situation doesn't change the fact that she broke into an occupied home through a window, at night, with the intent to take items that did not belong to her. It could be third or fourth degree burglary. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.582. Would you feel differently if she had been a GOPer?

Due process is a concept involving legal proceedings; asking someone to resign isn't subject to due process but to the rules of the state legislature and/or the party. I agree that more needs to be known first, but being a DFLer isn't enough to excuse her. Don't we say the law applies equally to everyone?
