If he were a member of your family, you’d be taking him, you’d be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital. If Melania and Ivanka and Eric and Don Jr. care...

As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his police chief were frantically calling Governor Tim Walz in the summer of 2020 to save a besieged police precinct, Governor Tim Walz refused to send National Guard soldiers to help the beleaguered police officers.
