Tim Walz Further Embarrasses Himself With Pathetic, Belated ‘Statement’ on Minnesota Church Invasion – RedState


As RedState reported earlier, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s (Democrat) silence in response to Sunday’s disgusting anti-ICE church invasion in St. Paul speaks volumes about Walz’s “leadership” in the face of an ever-growing contingent of far-left wacktivists wreaking havoc in the state in response to ICE’s presence.
As we also noted, just a few weeks ago, the failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee made remarks while surrounded by so-called community leaders in which he warned of the alleged possibility of ICE targeting places of worship.
“So I would fully expect, and we are preparing for, an influx of more agents, more very visible public staging of raids, of harassment,” Walz alarmed just before the Christmas holidays. “I wouldn’t stop this administration from targeting midnight masses among people who are going to pray, because that’s who they are.” No such targeting of churches has ever occurred.

Well, I didn’t think it was possible, but the update to this story is perhaps even more pathetic than Walz remaining eerily silent about it.
A statement was finally released, well over 24 hours after the incident, but not directly from Tim Walz. It came from his office, in the form of a written statement:
“The governor has repeatedly and unequivocally urged protesters to do so peacefully. While people have the right to express themselves, he in no way supports the disruption of a place of worship.”

Do you think he will hold a press conference about what happened on Sunday to reprimand the agitators? Do you think he will release a video address to Minnesotans condemning the actions of “peaceful protesters”?
I think we all know the answer to both of those questions, and the answers would only be “yes” if the targets of his speech and presser were ICE and the Trump administration, and not the outrage mobs that he and other Minnesota Democrats have repeatedly stoked with their incendiary rhetoric.

I’m not sure what’s worse – the fact that Walz stayed silent as long as he did or the fact that he didn’t even bother to release a video statement specifically attacking the agitators who were breaking the law and demanding arrests:
🤔 Where is Tampon Tim standing at the podium and demanding that the invasion and occupation of Minnesota churches stop IMMEDIATELY? And saying that violators will be arrested and charged. 😡🤬😡 https://t.co/BCUx6mREXJ
