"Tim Walz is an authoritarian socialist and only wants to listen to people that share his worldview," said Nate O'Reilly, a 30-year veteran of the construction industry.
Share This Story “He’s being portrayed as this blue-collar, likable, rural guy, and he’s the furthest thing from it,” said Nate O’Reilly, a 30-year veteran of the construction industry and former president of the Southeastern Minnesota Building & Construction Trades Council.
The Zumbrota resident once considered himself a staunch DFL supporter who strongly backed Gov. Tim Walz.
“I didn’t just vote for him, I campaigned for him,” said O’Reilly.
But that all changed after a contentious encounter with Walz during the height of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout—an encounter that, according to O’Reilly, came with career repercussions.
As a representative of the Iron Workers Local 512 at the time, O’Reilly says he attended a union and trades event in 2021 that featured Walz, along with several other politicians and lobbyists.
“He [Walz] knew me from being a business rep for the workers,” recalled O’Reilly. “So, when he came over, we shook hands. I said, ‘work is good, members are working,’ that typical conversation you have.”
Raising concerns about the vaccine mandate
O’Reilly says he decided to raise a concern with the governor that had been brewing among his 2,000 union members: the vaccine mandate.
“Walz said, ‘no, no, no, no, I don’t have anything to do with that, you guys are private unions,’” recounted O’Reilly, describing Walz’s response as noticeably agitated.
“I said, ‘yes, you do, because you signed the executive order mandating vaccines for government employees, and that has real repercussions for our members and workers,'” stated O’Reilly.
O’Reilly then asked whether the phrase “my body, my choice” applied to the vaccine, a question he says sent Walz through the roof.
“That’s when he flipped out.”
O’Reilly alleges that this confrontation with Walz led to backlash within his own organization.
“The next workday, my superior said that Walz’s people reached out to her and basically said how dare I question the governor,” said O’Reilly. “They really twisted it like I was attacking him.”
Following the incident, O’Reilly says he was sidelined in his role as a union representative.
“Prior to that, I was regularly asked to testify on bills related to workers and employment, or advocate for green energy projects, and that all stopped,” O’Reilly explained. “I was no longer included in those types of meetings or discussions.”
A shift in political stance Despite his long history of supporting Democratic candidates, O’Reilly has since changed his political stance.
“I wasn’t a Republican and still don’t claim to be, but I will never vote for a Democrat again,” said O’Reilly. “Tim Walz is an authoritarian socialist and only wants to listen to people that share his worldview.”
O’Reilly also took issue with a recent comment from Walz, in which the governor said, “one person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”
“Neighborly is me making an apple pie and sharing it with my neighbors,” said O’Reilly. “Tim Walz’s view is I make an apple pie, and he takes it from me and gives it to whoever he wants.”
Alpha News reached out to Gov. Walz’s office for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
If he is a socialist, he gives you one slice of the pie. IF he is communist, you get sawdust or dirt.
Decades ago, ANN LANDERS, had a FABULOUS COLUMN explaining all the Isms! It involved a COW!
Nate O’Reilly seems a little slow on the uptake. He’s just now figuring out that Dems are actually commie dictators?
It’s been obvious to some of us for decades.
“Nate O’Reilly seems a little slow on the uptake.”
Better late than never I guess.
He’s been red pilled.
And then claims he was a Master Baker in the Army.
Communism: If you have two cows, Government takes both and then gives you some milk.
Fascism: If you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the Government; then the government sells you some milk.
New Dealism: If you have two cows, you shoot one and milk the other; then you pour the milk down the drain.
Nazism: If you have two cows, the Government shoots you and keeps the cows.
Capitalism: If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.
Everyone learns at their own speed.
The question is will enough people learn fast enough so that the human race does not turn into the Borg.

“My body, my choice.”, set Walz into a tizzy.
It’s like kryptonite to Superman!
Seriously, though. What need do U.S. voters have of more proof that Walz and his “ilk” are barely disguised tyrants?

THAT’S IT!!!! THANKS!!!!
Nate is probably like many Americans, in that he comes from a long line of Democrats, going back several generations.
So did I. I broke with the Democrats around 1991. My breaking point was during the Rodney King Riots in LA.
I was disgusted with seeing top Democrats like Jesse Jackson and Maxine Waters excuse and celebrate blacks hitting whites over the head with cinder blocks just because they were white. Dems made excuses for all the looting as well. I no longer wished to call myself a Democrat from that point in.
PLEASE POST THIS ON ALL POLITICAL THREADS!!!
Wasn’t he in a fishing battalion?
Two weeks ago, I posted here that I can see right through this phoney Frowny Face. There’s deep anger just below the surface and JD Vance need only scratch the right place to reveal it in debate. Good Time Timmy needs to be put under stress so that we can see the real psycho within. I have seen this type before. He needs to be exposed and, if possible, humiliated.
She was the identical twin sister of Pauline Phillips, who wrote the similarly popular "Dear Abby" advice column as Abigail Van Buren.
I did not know that!
Anyway, here it is:
Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.
Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it.
Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.
Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both of the cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one cow and buy a bull.
👍
You’re quite welcome.
It was a good reference.
He is all for shots, unless, of course, its him being shot at in Iraq.
