In May 2020, Minneapolis police officer was filmed murdering George Floyd followed by major protest looting, arson and violence.Tim Walz was criticized for not doing enough to bring the situation under control.
Tim Walz was accused of dragging his feet in deploying the National Guard. Walz gave his nod for the deployment after a day. He defended his action and said the authorities were acting in good faith and he did his best. But the delay allowed the riot grow larger.
“Governor Walz had the ability and duty to use force and law enforcement to stop criminal violence, but he did not,” said a 2020 Minnesota Senate report on the riots, published at a time when Republicans controlled that chamber. “Governor Walz was not willing to do what was necessary to stop the rioting right away because he was having a philosophical debate about whether the use of force should be used to stop violence.”
“Tim Walz fled as rioters burned Minneapolis to the ground — like a coward. Harris-Walz is the most dangerously liberal (and incompetent) ticket in history,” RNC Research posted after his name was confirmed as Kamala Harris’ VP pick.
Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to make the rest of America look like San Francisco and Minneapolis with high crime, anti-police, high illegal immigration and support for the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel core of the Democrat party. “Harris-Walz is the most radical, extreme leftist ticket our nation has ever seen,” Pompeo posted.
