Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly minted running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, “failed to act” during May 2020 riots in Minneapolis that burned over 1,000 businesses and a police station to the ground, a scathing state Senate report showed.
The 60-year-old Democratic governor was accused by the Republican-controlled Minnesota Senate’s Joint Transportation and Judiciary and Public Safety Committee of delaying the deployment of the National Guard, failing to coordinate with local police, downplaying the possibility of riots and allowing his adult daughter to access confidential information about law enforcement movements that put first responders at risk during the four days of rioting that swept through the Twin Cities in the wake of George Floyd’s May 25, 2020, death in police custody.
The state Senate’s scathing post-mortem, released in October 2020, determined that Walz “first mobilized the Minnesota National Guard on the afternoon of Thursday, May 28 … 18 hours after” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey first pleaded for assistance and the day after the city’s police chief gave Walz written notice that he needed at least 600 National Guardsmen to quell the riots.
“It was obvious to me that he froze under pressure, under a calamity, as people’s properties were being burned down,” Republican state Sen. Warren Limmer told the New York Times, suggesting that the governor’s “personal sympathies” toward the rioters may have been why he was slow to act.
When Walz did send in the guard, it was far less than what was needed and requested.
“The request was sent for at least 600 guardsmen at 9:11 p.m. Wednesday, May 27,” the Senate report states. “Governor Walz eventually produced 100 guardsmen for the City of Minneapolis late in the evening on Thursday, May 28.”

Hitler declared war on the US despite a lack go long-range bombers-stupid.
Kamala is doubling down on the leftism-equally stupid.
Won’t matter.

The Demonicrat ticket contains two traitors who failed to carry out the responsibilities of their office.

Trying to win back the black voters eh?
A thousand is a lot of businesses. Is there a map showing what that looks like?
This is the one step back. They’ll go to work on their 2 steps forward in ‘28. Heck, they could keep the senate or house and improve in the ‘26 mid-terms.
The VP spot is his reward for ‘failing to act’ and being so compliant in the overarching Liberal ‘I Hate America’ agenda!
Daily Mail:
“Walz tried to dismiss the violence as the product of drug cartels, White supremacists, and outside groups, claiming that up to 80 percent of rioters were from out of state.
Arrest records, however, revealed that most of the rooters who were arrested were, in fact, from Minnesota.”
Meanwhile, Harris — just days after the Minneapolis police station was lit up — asked her Twitter followers on June 1, 2020, to assist in bailing rioters out of jail.
‘If you’re able to, chip in now to the [Minnesota Freedom Fund] to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,’ the then-California senator wrote on X.”
The Republicans have plenty of ammunition against both of these Commies - will they make use of it?
and then got reelected
The Democrat ticket is the Make America Burn Again ticket.
Let them walk around without security and see if they still think as they do....
That’s because he supported the riots
Yep - like Walz’s wife bragging that she “kept the windows open b/c she liked the smell of the burning tires.”
Said, of course, behind the high security of the governor’s mansion guarded by armed guards.
