    He let Minneapolis burn, many never recovered. WE WILL NOT FORGET.
  • @rzr1335
    The only thing I know about him is he let the George Floyd riots go on much too long.
  • @randyo5540
    As an Independent I won’t be voting for this far-left mess.
  • How did he become worth half a billion dollars after going to China on a governor's salary?
  • @K_M.G
    I want to hear about his history of allowing Minneapolis to burn to the ground and him supporting open borders.
  • Yeah, he totally destroyed Minneapolis, Minnesota my friend there she moved to Florida. She said it’s the first time in 2 years . she has heard gunshots outside her window she lived in Minneapolis, for 23 years when it was ran by Republican she did not hear gunshots outside her window let that sink in and my friend is not even a republican
  • If you want the entire country to look like Portland or San Francisco, he's your guy.
  • @patrickmball
    I had to pack up my family and leave the state because this guy let Minneapolis burn to the ground.
  • @Carolyn1107
    and why is Tim Waltz building a house in South Dakota if he did so right by Minnesota!
  • i read that he QUIT the national guard right before he was going to be shipped out of country.
  • Walz let our city burn to the ground. Over taxed Minnesotans, and then instead of giving us a petty little refund, kept the money AND RAISED TAXES EVEN MORE.
  • @zobees
    I’m a demecrat and the fact that Kamala picked Tim just shows me that she doesn’t do what’s right and she can’t be our leader she just lost my vote
  • Our worst governor of all time! I thank God he is leaving. He enforced the mandates and let Minneapolis burn 🔥 It will smell so much better here without him and Omar😂
  • He should have called the MN Guard out sooner. That was a huge mistake. That footage will be in every MAGA commercial from today until the election. You can love that fact or you can hate it...but it is true. All of that other stuff us just the thoughts of saltwater coast media types. Out here in the middle, we know that you only care about us during elections...or if the food stops. Say. I've got an idea.
