Gov. Tim Walz has been tapped to co-chair President Joe Biden's Council of Governors.

The council, which consists of 10 bipartisan governors, advises the secretaries of defense and homeland security, as well as the White House Homeland Security Council, on matters related to the National Guard. Walz will co-chair the council with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

"I am honored to be appointed as co-chair to lead this bipartisan group of governors to continue to strengthen the state-federal partnership on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions," Walz said in a statement. "This has been an historic year. In addition to their federal mission, the National Guard was critical in responding to civil unrest and helping our nation fight COVID-19. I look forward to continuing to work with other governors and our federal partners to support the National Guard and advise on matters related to homeland defense and civil support."

Walz served in the Army National Guard for nearly 25 years.

The other members of the council are Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Delaware Gov. John Carney, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon.

Let us not forget that Gov. Walz called in the National Guard after Minneapolis was basically burned to the ground and rioters were running downtown last summer.

Ol' Joe sure knows how to pick 'em!

Waltz was afraid to call out the National Guard. He didn’t want to annoy the “community”.

He is a power hungry coward. A very fine pick from Joe Biden.

This grouping of Governors is a continuation of Obamas grouping and sustaining and securing leftist power over states as he did with Grouping Mayors in his second term. This is all Obama's 3rd term playing out.....

Make no mistake this man is working in the shadows with the Biden administration, formerly the Obama administration currently in place..

And don’t forget, when Walz was asked why he sent in the National guard unarmed, he replied that most of them were just “19 year old cooks”.

High praise from their commander in chief.

With the incompetent lecturer schooling us on how to hide from Covid, and the girly boy who would be mayor, of Mpls. hiding while his police stations burned, Minnesotans didn’t stand a chance.
I only hope a few of them see the irony in “getting the leadership you elect”.
The fakebook “Uptown Crime” page is full of Biden, Walz, Frey, Klobuchar voters, whining about how defunding the police is ruining their neighborhood, yet they voted for exactly what they got. You can’t fix stupid!
