Tim Walz turns down NY Times interview requests about response to George Floyd riots

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly turned down interview requests with The New York Times to address fresh criticisms he's facing over his response to the George Floyd riots in 2020.

Walz, who has served as governor since 2019, is accused of failing to act quickly enough as rioters burned and looted businesses for days before he sent in the National Guard. Over 1,500 businesses and buildings were burned, with property damage estimated at $500 million, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

The Democrat's actions have once again come into the spotlight after he was chosen as Vice President Harris' running mate earlier this month.

He won't even take an interview with the campaign friendly NY Times? WTH!? They probably only wanted to do the interview to help him put it in a better light to save the campaign.

I mean, even the brain damaged cult of leftists should see something very wrong with this tact of dodge and hide.

This isn’t a game, this is the future of our country at stake.

Kamala and Walz believe they are on top and could only hurt themselves now by lowering themselves to talk to simple peasants.

One of my favorites quoted by Richard Nixon:

No one ever lost an election over the speech they didn’t make.

The GREAT WALZ of CHINA

Tampon Tim is WORKING FOR CHINA and seeks to cause CHAOS throughout our society in an effort to DESTROY US on behalf of his FIRST LOVE, CHINA.

Look what that bastard did to Minnesota during Covid. Ordering cops to SHOOT CIVILIANS WITH PAINT BALLS simply for standing on their porches.

Here's the politically correct Tampon Timmy with his politically correct wife admiring a stencil of druggie/violent criminal, George Floyd.

Notice the covid masks.

One can never virtue signal enough.

Neither Boris Badenov or his girl Cackling Natasha are ever going to face the press or the voters before election day.

They don’t have to, and they’re not going to.

They’re going to hide until November.

Weird (or should I say creepy?) how neither of the demoncraps is willing to do an interview or answer press questions.

They're like a couple of Unitarian evangelists on your doorstop.

"Hello, can we talk to you about Unitarianism?

"Well, okay, what are you about?"

"Um, we don't know."

It's a new development. They're not even bothering talking to the Liberal Media. At least Bill Clinton and Barry took questions from them. And they were good at that.

Everything depends on how angry people still are in November.

Will people remember how bad things have been?

Everything that’s happened since 2020 is simply astonishing.

Younger voters don’t realize that this isn’t how campaigns are supposed to be run.

It worked for Biden in 2020.

Will it work again is the big question.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that America as a country is gone if this phony campaign stuff actually works.
