Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) did not disagree with Hillary Clinton that their party could have been more proactive in protecting abortion access.
Walz, who represented Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District from 2007 to 2019, cited his first congressional campaign as an example when asked to respond to Clinton’s criticism., and I was fully supportive of abortion rights. And this is back in 2005-2006. That was considered risky by a lot of people in our party.
“I think what the former secretary is getting at is that we maybe didn’t understand the threat that was coming, that we thought thatwas going to protect us,” he said. “I think there were a lot of us, myself included, didn’t believe that.”“I think that’s why states like Minnesota were firewalling things up,” the governor said. “We’re an island of decency out here. It’s ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ out here of the states surrounding me, from the Dakotas to Iowa, forcing women into these terrible situations.
“So, no, I don’t totally disagree with her,” he added. “I think the difference is now, since the fall ofand his Supreme Court, that we are ready. And women are ready, men are ready. And those who think that this is just a distracting issue, this is a fundamental issue of personal freedoms and personal bodily autonomy.”“We didn’t take it seriously, and we didn’t understand the threat,” Clinton said.
“ relentless. You know, they take a loss, they get back up, they regroup, they raise more money,” she continued. “It’s tremendously impressive the way that they operate. And we have nothing like it on our side.” “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both,” Trump said in April. “Whatever they decide must be the law of the land — in this case, the law of the state.
