Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who was reported Tuesday to be the likely running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, failed in 2020 to anticipate and react to riots in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd at police hands.
The violence led to the destruction of a police precinct, widespread looting, and the spread of riots nationwide.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blamed Walz for failing to respond:
In an interview Monday, Frey said that Walz hesitated to send in the National Guard to quell the growing violence and then blamed him for allowing the city to burn.
…
Frey said he immediately telephoned Walz, at 6:29 p.m., relayed information, and asked him to send in the National Guard. “We expressed the seriousness of the situation. The urgency was clear,” Frey said.
“He did not say yes,” Frey said of Walz. “He said he would consider it.”

failed to stop them? They ENCOURAGED them! 100 times more than Trump encouraged J6!
Trump and Vance need to hammer Walz on this.
They didn’t want a Jew
This borders on antisemitism
Because the Arabs didn’t want him
Nice job democrats!! Your antisemitism shows
If picking him amplifies Kamala’s record on bail for marauders, that’s valuable.
I heard Gov of PA turned her down
Shapiro has a future, Kamala doesn't. Why tie your star to that wagon.
If it’s truly Harris/Walz, the BLM riots are the line of attack. Both of them facilitated the riots.
Oooooo 😂🤣there goes the old fart narrative! Thank you for picking a loser! The pro Hamas brainwashed snots and CAIR terrorist organization forced the Demoncrats to toss Shapiro over the cliff. Democracy? These people know nothing but communism! I just wanna thank the evil rats for choosing this loser which will be very easy to beat in a debate! The cackling hyena’s base must be crying in there soy lattes this morning. What a horrible ticket and horrible for America. But overall for our side …YES!!!!!!!!!!😂🤣
My fear is it was going to be Beshear, but I figured he was smart enough to not waste his time this go around. But I think he’s the shoo-in in 2028 to be the nominee.

Criminal conspiracy organization.
Well regardless it’s a good morning! 😊So enjoy it …this is a horrible pic! I’m already seeing the leftoids in a serious meltdown over the VP choice!😂🤣
Alberta’s Child made a good point.
Kamala hitting on Walz for VP is very telling. Not looking good when
conniving Democrats conclude they need to suck-up to Minnesotans for votes.
Or nobody else was willing to take the job.
From the Daily Mail,
Walz turned the North Star State into a refuge for LGBTQ Americans and has also backed making Minnesota the 13th ‘sanctuary’ state for undocumented migrants.
Good. He is a useless human , Trump will beat this guy down. Its such a lousy choice. My God Harris is in trouble.
True. Walz dealt very badly with the George Floyd riots.
Maybe we will hear a lot about George Floyd in this campaign as far as defunding the police, and dealing with the riots ,and everything surrounding the George Floyd incident.
If we’re going to have major debates about George Floyd I think the Liberals lose that one with Middle America.
