    How Kamala Harris and Tim Walz fiddled as Minneapolis burned during destructive 2020 BLM riots

    VP candidate Walz is claiming crime will go up under Trump? Both he and Kamala should know.
    Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s fingerprints are all over the deadly riots that consumed Minneapolis and St. Paul in the summer of 2020
    — their cheerleading and inaction giving cover to criminals as neighborhoods burned and hundreds of businesses were ransacked and destroyed.

    Interesting. Here's someone with a different opinion who thought Walz did a great job

    He certainly did a terrible job handling the riots. Nothing posted so far changes that.

    Ms Walz is a head case:

    “Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s wife once admitted she kept the windows of the governor’s residence “open as long as [she] could” to smell the burning tires from the violent 2020 riots in the wake of George Floyd’s death — as her husband’s handling of the protests is back in the spotlight.”

    +

    “I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing,” Walz said of the BLM protests that swept Minnesota and beyond, including the area near the governor’s home in St. Paul.

    “I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening,” she added.”

    Gwen Walz said she kept windows open during George Floyd riots to smell 'burning tires'.


    Between Harris, Walz, and their spouses …. wow, what a mess. Those four may be worse than Joe and Dr Jill! At least they don’t have a Hunter ….. or we don’t yet know they have one.

    Going by states is disingenuous, the vast population of Americans live in cities.
    Birmingham, Alabama ranks as the unsafest city in America.

    Worst cities for crime:
    1. Detroit, Michigan
    2. St. Louis, Missouri St. Louis has a violent crime rate of 1,927 per 100,000 people. In 2019, 194 people were murdered in that city.
    3. Memphis, Tennessee The violent crime rate in Memphis is 1,901 per 100,000 residents. In 2019, 190 people were murdered there.

    Your candidates are JD Vance and Donald Trump. Enough said. You can try and make as many silly points as you want, but you have no case when those are the two representing your party. Lmao.

    What I heard last night was that Walz immediately called for the National Guard during the riots, but the National Guard can't just show up on the scene on a moment's notice. So unless he could call for Superman too, I'm not sure what else he could do.

    It's par for the course, though, to see supporters of a convicted felon (and that's after only one of his trials) complain about crime.

    And that obviously explains Walz’ wife rubbing one out over burning tires in the street….

    I believe the dems would have been better off running AOC + Swalwell compared to Harris + Walz.
