Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activates all National Guard troops as George Floyd protests continue

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered all National Guard troops activated for the first time in the state’s history Saturday, vowing to put an end to the “wanton destruction” that he pinned on outside forces — from drug cartels to white supremacists.

But President Trump seemed to point to leftist agitators and poor leadership for the unrest in Minnesota following the death of George Floyd.

“It’s ANTIFA and the Radical Left. Don’t lay the blame on others!” Trump tweeted Saturday.

Walz told reporters in a pre-dawn briefing: “The absolute chaos — this is not grieving, and this is not making a statement [about an injustice] that we fully acknowledge needs to be fixed — this is dangerous. You need to go home.”

“The terrifying thing is that this resembles more a military operation now as you observe ringleaders moving from place to place,” he added. “There are simply more of them than us.”

The visibly drained Walz said that outside forces, including anarchists, white supremacists and drug cartels, could be fanning the violence.

“Last night is a mockery of pretending that this is about George Floyd’s death, or inequities, or historical traumas to our communities of color,” Walz said.

Of course they are connected. There are no coincidences.

The stated goal of the Totalitarian Left is world takeover. It has never worked anywhere, ever. But they think because they want it to, and they are sooooo smart that this time it will work.
