Walz: I Have Activated The National Guard
www.realclearpolitics.comGov. Tim Walz (D-MN) held a press conference on Saturday on another fatal ICE-involved shooting and announced he has activated the Minnesota National Guard.
REPORTER: Have you activated the National Guard... can you tell us if they are going to be playing a role?
GOV. TIM WALZ (D-MN): Yeah, yes, the answer is yes, we have, as we said last week, and we staged those troops. I'll have General Manke talk about where they're at, and again, use this as an opportunity to stress to Minnesotans the frustration you have, and as you saw this, they killed a man, created chaos, pushed down protesters, threw gas indiscriminately, and then left the scene, and then were left to clean up. I understand the anger.
I understand trying to parse who were the law enforcement on the scene when you got there after a man was killed is difficult for folks who are out there, but I can't stress enough our goal, and I'll have General Manke talk about what the role of these Guard troops are in conjunction with incredible work from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, from mutual aid across, and of course the State Patrol, of trying to get to the point where what we're saying is we can handle this, and Minnesotans can express their First Amendment rights, and have our folks on the streets, and get these people out of here. And so, John, if you want to talk a little bit, but the answer is yes, there's activated, he can talk to you about numbers.



You are using slander to obscure the issue. You have no info on how I voted. We can safely presume you however helped anoint an unpopular candidate without challenge to run as status quo, likely shouting down and slandering anyone calling for popular reform.
What do you call doing the same thing and expecting different results? Now you blame voters for your doomed to fail strategy, instead of your influencers still in charge to do it again, with newsom.
These dems were never going to stop the r’s, only a new deal would.
Take some goddamn responsibility, admit you made a mistake, and help get electable candidates pushing popular reform, or enjoy Republican rule.
At this point, your ignorance is willfull.
