Gov. Tim Walz ratchets up divisive attacks on Trump admin — despite prez calling for de-escalation: ‘A cruelty that runs so deep’
The New York Post ^ | 01/28/2026 | Patrick Reilly

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ramped up his divisive attacks on the Trump administration even after the president deployed “border czar” Tom Homan to de-escalate the unrest following the shooting of Alex Pretti.

“They started this fire and we are not going to give them credit for putting it out,” Walz told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in his first TV interview since the 37-year-old nurse was shot dead during a scuffle with Border Patrol agents on Saturday.

The embattled governor said he had met with Homan and there was a “tone shift” and “progress,” however, he then needled the border czar, implying that it was insincere.

“I think the thing that I’m most concerned about is that the tone was different. There was a tone shift. I wish it was because of the horrific shooting that somebody saw some morality — but I think it’s probably the press,” he jabbed, adding that that Homan never asked about Pretti or his family.

Walz then blasted the Trump administration over its handling of Pretti’s death and the death of Renee Good on Jan. 7, saying that it is infected with “a cruelty that runs so deep

He specifically cited the DOJ’s decision to open an investigation into Good’s wife.

“It’s a siege in all respects,” he said of the massive immigration operations. ***

Walz’s divisive attacks also come after Trump tried to calm tensions, saying the two spoke by phone and that “it was a very good call” and they “seemed to be on a similar wavelength.” ***

Walz continues to stir the pot. All the while, more information is coming out about the Democrats being, at the very least, the beneficiaries of the Somali fraud. It will be a glorious day when Walz is perp walked. With Bondi running the show, I won’t hold my breath.

I’m beginning to think Walz has a serous drinking problem....along with all the other issues he has.

Another productive call should help. A strongly worded letter may be too harsh.

Excuse me Mr. A*shole, but it was Joe Biden and your fellow Democraps who started the fire with an insane 4 year open border.

Or a pill head. Either way, he is probably masking some very serious issues.

Why haven’t any prominent Democrats been prosecuted since Bondi became Attorney General?

Newton’s First Law: A body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. It is long past the time that an external force should be applied. She should either do her job or shown the the door.

A thought that has occurred to me, as we have seen rogue judges, and nullification toss every attempt to hold the left accountable up until this point, if they had indictments against people, and they were getting tossed out as we go into the midterm cycle, I think it would be a black guy for the Trump administration. But if indictments start to fly while the midterms are heating up without the chance of juries and judges to destroy them, it could help Republicans. I’m as frustrated as everyone else, but if we can make those indictments tactically helpful, it might be worth a shot.

“”””Why isn’t this guy behind bars?

Because an airtight and thorough investigation is more important than throwing out some quick charges that will get slapped down.

All part of the set up being played by Trump. Walz looks unreasonable and unhinged.

It’s almost like Walz is lying and intentionally escalating the situation. Almost like he has something to hide . . .

Nah. He’s defective, certainly. Corrupt to the core. Serious money bundler though. That’s what this is about, he has to double down to try and keep his ass out of jail. Just think - it was at least possible he could be vice-president of the United States right now.

I also want people arrested, prosecuted, and behind bars. Bondi is weak, but, the truth is that the judiciary has been flooded with leftists, some hardly even American. The DOJ is having an issue trying to find anybody, anywhere, unbiased to prosecute these people. Obviously the Congress is weaker and more useless than Bondi. They are more engaged over Ukraine, Israel, Epstein like nonsense, and don’t give a rats ass about the people who voted for them to do something about the criminal activity at the heart of America. Geesh, many are probably involved in that greedy activity.

SCOTUS is too slow to be of any help and they never make any ruling that covers the anti American sedition in full being perpetrated by the leftists.

What would it take to get justice? Military Courts? What?
