Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed 'responsibility to ensure' riots in Minneapolis would be curbed in 2020 after the death of George Floyd during an interaction with police.
Vice President Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, claimed responsibility for preventing riots in Minneapolis in the spring of 2020 as the city spiraled into chaos and destruction, recently unearthed comments show.
Where I live now, people are disgusted by Tim Walz. But where I live now doesn’t represent a large swath of Minnesota’s population,' Max Rymer, who moved with his wife and two children from a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis to a suburb about 45 minutes north of the city in 2020, told Fox News Digital in a previous comment this week.
Our great cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault,' Walz said. 'The situation in Minneapolis is now about attacking civil society, instilling fear and disrupting our great city.' The move earned praise from then-President Trump, who lauded Walz in a phone call with governors. 'What they did in Minneapolis was incredible. They went in and dominated, and it happened immediately,' Trump told Walz and the others on the call.
Again we had more sleepless nights during the riots,' Walz's wife told KSTP in July 2020. 'I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.' 5 CONTROVERSIES SURROUNDING VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE TIM WALZ, FROM DUI TO COVID FRAUD Critics and conservatives slammed the remarks as 'bizarre' on social media.
