Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday he is appalled by a state DFL Party staff member’s tweet referring to the recently-launched USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul as a “murder boat.”

“Certainly, the disrespect shown is beyond the pale,” said Walz, who served in the Army National Guard.

William Davis, who has been the DFL Party’s research director and deputy communications director, made the controversial comment in response to a tweet about the launch of a new Navy combat ship in Wisconsin: “But actually, I think it’s gross they’re using the name of our fine cities for a murder boat,” Davis wrote on Twitter over the weekend.

The comment prompted a quick backlash, and Davis apologized and deleted the tweet.

To quote Private Reiben from Saving Private Ryan, "the minute I saw him, I knew he was an a--hole."

"I have nothing but respect for all the soldiers of our country, including the Navy which my Grandpa and 5 uncles served."

Oh, sure he does. Who runs a "murder boat" but murderers? That includes his uncles and his Grandpa. Putz.

Put him on the boat. Maybe he could shine the boots of real patriots. Or send him to Iran to investigate attitudes toward Americans.

Well, I guess every sailor should know what the democrat party thinks of the Navy.

Draft his sorry ass. Worthless freeloader. Many enjoy freedom, few earn it. Most are at least thankful.

Why should he,[the Governor] be appalled by the DFL staffer’s tweet? When America haters and traitors are put into positions of authority and responsibility,this is what you get.

Did they forget the guns and missiles?

How are they supposed to murder without armament?

He meant every word he tweeted. Should he ever get in position to do it, he will make it happen.

The staffer should vacation in Somalia, with side trips to Zimbabwe and Yemen.

Not that it wasn’t obvious from his other words, but “gross” is a big SJW tell. You or I might see fresh vomit on the ground and say, “Oh, gross!” The SJWs use it in weird political contexts. “It’s gross to hear a Christian speak during the Holy Month of Pride!”, as an example.
