Tim Walz says people are using ‘the R-word’ while driving by his house
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has condemned people driving by his home using a derogatory term aimed at him, calling such behavior “shameful.” This follows a statement from former President Donald Trump in which he referred to Walz as “seriously retarded” while criticizing immigration policies, specifically mentioning Minnesota’s Somali refugee population. Walz challenged Republicans to speak out against Trump’s remarks, including Trump’s characterization of Minnesota as a “hellhole,” which Walz disputed as untrue. The controversial discourse has raised Walz’s concerns about escalating public taunts potentially leading to violence. Additionally, Republican Indiana state Senator michael Bohacek opposed a redistricting plan supported by Trump, partly in response to Trump’s offensive language. Walz responded to Trump’s attack with calls for Trump to release his medical MRI results, amid ongoing political tension. meanwhile, Walz faces scrutiny over allegations of fraud in Minnesota’s social services, triggering a federal investigation. He has announced his intention to seek a third gubernatorial term,and mike Lindell,CEO of MyPillow,has indicated he may run against him.
Tim Walz says people are using ‘the R-word’ while driving by his house
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said that people are exhibiting “shameful” behavior while driving by his house after President Donald Trump issued a statement against the governor.
Trump called Walz “seriously retarded” while criticizing how immigration has affected the United States in a lengthy X post, citing Minnesota’s influx of Somali refugees as an example. Walz said on Thursday that Republicans need to be asked if they’re OK with the president referring to Minnesota as “a hellhole,” which Walz then said is “unfactually untrue,” during Minnesota’s state budget and economic forecast presentation.
“This creates danger, and I’ll tell you what, in my time on this, I’ve never seen this before: People driving by my house and using the R-word in front of people. This is shameful, and I have yet to see a Republican elected official say, ‘You’re right, that’s shameful. He should not say it,’” Walz said.
Walz also said he’s “worried,” as “taunts” by the public evolve into “violence.”
Following Trump’s statement against Walz, on Nov. 28, Republican Indiana state Sen. Michael Bohacek said he will vote against a redistricting plan Trump supports. Bohacek has a daughter with Down syndrome, and is critical of Trump’s “insulting and derogatory references.”
Walz fired back at Trump with a statement on X, saying “release the MRI results,” referring to the president’s annual fitness exam. Trump said Sunday he will release the test results, though he has “no idea” what part of the body was being imaged.
TIM WALZ PROMOTES NEW MINNESOTA PAID LEAVE PROGRAM OPEN TO ‘UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS’
Walz is under scrutiny amid allegations of widespread fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs, prompting House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to announce an investigation. Comer sent letters to Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, demanding a response by Dec. 17.
Walz announced in September that he is seeking a third term as governor. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a potential opponent of Walz, filed paperwork Wednesday to run for governor, and said he would make an official decision as early as Dec. 11.
The Washington Examiner contacted Walz’s press office for comment.
