Tim Walz told the Bulwark podcast he \u201cwould beat the s*** out of\u201d Vice president JD Vance if given the chance,a remark expressing frustration with calls for bipartisanship amid rising tensions over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-nominate-texas-sheriff-to-lead-ice\/\" title=\"Biden to Nominate Texas Sheriff to Lead ICE\">federal immigration enforcement<\/a> in Minnesota. The comment came as protests and unrest followed the deaths of two U.S. citizens during federal operations, and after Vance publicly criticized state and local leaders while defending enforcement actions. Walz,who portrays himself as willing to compromise,said traditional bipartisanship is a nonstarter in Minneapolis and suggested his remark was as much about out-arguing Vance as about actual violence,referencing past debate exchanges.He was preparing to meet with border czar Tom Homan\u2014who called the meeting productive\u2014and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mexican-president-snubs-bidens-invite-to-summit-of-the-americas\/\" title=\"Mexican President Snubs Biden\u2019s Invite To Summit Of The Americas\">incident prompted phone calls<\/a> from President Trump to Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to try to ease the tensions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Walz says he &lsquo;would beat the s***&rsquo; out of Vance &lsquo;if I could&rsquo; in rejection of bipartisanship&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2487157\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Minnesota\/\">Minnesota<\/a> Gov.

The deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal law enforcement in January have caused a severe divide between state and local leadership and the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has been vocal about his distaste for Walz and Minnesota leadership while also strongly defending immigration operations in the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border,&rdquo; Vance said <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JDVance\/status\/2015537769582301388?s=20\">in an X <\/a>post Jan. 25. &ldquo;The solution is staring everyone in the face.
