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.”

Well, in all fairness to little Timmy, his wife loved the smell of Minnesota Burning in the morning.
Many videos of Walz saying let it burn. This is what happens. America should burn as punishment for racist police.
Many videos of crying broken black business owners who lost everything because he wanted it to burn. Very sad.

Caution, it may well make your blood boil.
How many people, in their heart of hearts, look at that picture and think that there is anything normal or healthy about those butchered people?
He DIDN’T FAIL TO ACT....he ENCOURAGED IT!!
Walz’s wife said SCHMELL...NOT SMELL, but SCHMELL! Listen tot he video!
WUT is wrong with you people? This was not a failure. Not a bug, a feature.
Antifa/BLM were hired by the DNC to trash and murder. He just read the memo and did what it ordered in order to cash the enclosed check. This is the same with anyone unwilling to condemn hamas.
MAKE AMERICA MINNEAPOLIS!!
Walz apparently hates the Cpnstitution and seems to be a flat out Communist.
Why have a senate panel if there are zero consequences?
That is of course unless you are Trump or a Trump supporter, then you go to jail and get de-banked, broke.
this guy is funny looking
Walz does do all of these activities. The point is they want to make this a vibes election. How does he/she make you feel.
Trump is running on issues. Normal people vote issues.
1. Economy
2 Immigration
I think JD showing normal people, victims of crime, talk to the country, is powerful.
Media once did common man stories. Now they are only interested in telling America the other side is evil, vote for who we tell you to. Believe us Joe is
cogent.
The media will never ask her anything. She will not do sit downs. She will read the teleprompter. She will raise a lot of money.
Hollywood Red Carpet attendees at their Hollywood produced convention will give her another news cycle. Tell her life story like an award winning movie.
I don't believe the news will change before the election.
Kamala has skeletons that the original vetting did not discover, that the Trump team recently discovered.
A lot of chaotic changes being thrown at voters for months, more to come, Will voters be saying WTH is going on through Election Day? No policy is ever talked about?
Every surrogate should mimic the interview with Stephanopolis. No matter the question, tell the stark difference in policy. In the simplest of terms so the young voters get it.
Rent was. Rent is.
Gas was. Gas is.
Border closed
Border open.
Children castrated
Children normal.
Putz has been flooded with a torrent of bad press in the last 24 hours. Fox interviewed a Mn citizen who recounted the reign of Covid terror Putz put the state through. Putz is nuts.
I’ve posted this one several times on X and at Facebook.
“Failed to act”? Heck. He was one of the instigators.
Good!
Oh my gosh I listened to her videos...what a crazy fruitloop!
