The third-ranking House Republican called Thursday for Minnesota to repeal its “trans refuge” law in an exclusive interview with The Post following Wednesday’s deadly shooting targeting Catholic school students in Minneapolis.

"We got to have compassion for everyone. But we got to understand that we’ve got some serious mental health issues that are being exacerbated by these types of messages by people like Tim Walz and everybody who supported that law,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, whose district covers many of the Twin Cities’ outer northern and western suburbs.

“They should immediately repeal it, but they won’t,” Emmer added. “They have been encouraging this type of confusion. This poor young man was tortured. He clearly had serious mental health issues and rather than actually helping him, they were actually exacerbating it.”

The 2023 legislation, signed by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz blocks out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for people who travel to the Land of 10,000 Lakes from other states for sex-reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments.

“You look at the sadness of these tortured human beings — because they do have regrets later — and no, we should have never started it. It should not be allowed.”

Robin Westman, born Robert Westman, killed two children and wounded 17 others — including 14 youngsters — at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School Wednesday morning before turning the gun on himself.

Minnesota has a Red Flag Law. With all the budget surplus there, they could have had a task force to monitor radical social media posts. This monster definitely qualified.
if you see something. Say something.
The Ball is in Walz court.

Much like sanctuary cities offer safe harbor to illegal alien criminals, trans refuge sanctuaries encourage mentally ill to congregate. The odds are very high that one of them is going to blow.

What no one in the propaganda organs dare t
mention, let alone highlight, is that this delusional person regretted transitioning.

If he had been steered toward some mental help instead of indulging him in his delusion he and the poor little kids might still be alive.

States can almost write any stupid law they want.

I bet that’s the reason they tried to keep the video of his being seen.

Budget surplus? Surely you jest.
Walz burned through that right away, giving it to hundreds of Somalian fake NGO’s.
There is a deficit now, the result of democrat logic. (and stupidity)
