Walz condemned inflammatory rhetoric and suggested it was linked to political violence. However, he has a history of making incendiary comments himself.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) called for “decency” and denounced “mean tweets” late Sunday while announcing the arrest of a suspect in shootings that killed former Minnesota Democratic

After the murders, Gov. Tim Walz called for "grace and compassion and vision and compromise and decency." Some on the right chose a different course.

Boelter claimed to have a doctorate of education, and said he spent extensive time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa — where he was seen in videos apparently preaching on stage.

Walz and the rest of the Minnesota hierarchy have been getting slammed with criticism for a statistical rise in crime, and some of that heat is coming from former NFL and Minnesota State football star Jack Brewer. Brewer recently criticized Walz for the decline of “The Gopher State.”

Several MAGA members have called out the state's Democratic leader over his previous appointment of the suspect to the governor's workforce development board.

The Minnesota governor said that the path to tyranny "is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting"
