The widow of slain Minnesota cop reveals she told Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz to stay away from her husband's funeral.
Shannon Owen received a condolence call from Walz in 2023 after her husband Joshua was killed in the line of duty.
Owen had some choice words for the governor and told him he would be removed from the memorial service if he showed up.
'You have never been a supporter of the police and I'd just appreciate it if you just don't come anywhere near my town,' she said in a partial recording of her phone conversation included in the Alpha News documentary Minnesota v. We the People.
She also informed Walz, who is now the Democratic vice presidential candidate, that if he tried to come to the funeral she would 'make sure that I escort your a** out of here'.
'No, I totally understand and respect your rights,' Walz replied during the calls just days after Owen's husband was killed.
'Our officers are here to support you in any way you need,' he said before the call was brought to an abrupt end.
Owen said she didn't say much during the conversations and 'just let him ramble because that is what politicians do.'
The conversation highlights a major problem for Walz – at least in his home state of Minnesota – among law enforcement.
Asked if he was suitable to be the next-vice president, Owen said: 'Absolutely not.'
