Swing state House hopeful changes tune after scrubbing violent crime defenses from law firm website

Minnesota Republican House candidate Tayler Rahm appears to have scrubbed his law firm's website of references to work it has done defending people accused of murder and sex crimes.

"There is no case too small or too big for the Law Firm, as Mr. Rahm has been involved in hundreds of DUI/DWI cases achieving incredible results and he has been involved in many other major Cases," the firm's website now reads.

Rahm previously served as the defense attorney during the sentencing phase for a man convicted of sexually assaulting a pre-teen girl, in addition to defending an individual convicted of possessing child pornography, and another individual convicted of first-degree murder.

It is unclear exactly when or why the change to the website was made. However, since launching his campaign, he has dedicated part of his platform to addressing "out-of-control" crime.

"Tayler has had a front row seat to witness the progressive prosecutors and progressive judges create a standard that erases or lessens the consequences of criminal actions, thus emboldening the criminals," Rahm's campaign website says.

Rahm went on to blast an unnamed primary opponent — likely Marine veteran and former federal prosecutor Joe Teirab — for giving "sweetheart plea deals" in his former role, and said that the U.S. Constitution "guarantees everyone the right to an attorney, the presumption of innocence and due process."

"Prosecutors are signing off on plea agreements, allowing criminals to escape serious consequences. Trust me, I see it every day," he said. "The D.C. swamp is trying to put its thumb on the scale of picking the MN-02 candidate. Still, the district delegates know who will fight to represent them, not the swamp, and they know who will defend their constitutional rights and civil liberties."

Rahm faces two Republican opponents in the GOP primary field, including Teirab, and Mike Murphy, a former mayor. The winner will face Craig, who is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Elections analysts rate the race as "lean Democratic."
