Here we go again.
CBS headlined the latest on Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as follows: “
CBS reports:
The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration’s clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.
Walz and Frey both said the stories were “accusing federal agents of creating chaos and undermining public safety through aggressive tactics.”
Talk about getting the story backwards. It is Walz with Frey, who are egging on “chaos and undermining public safety through aggressive tactics.”
For those who read history, there is a recall of a long-ago politician, this one a U.S. senator who was so taken with the notion of rebelling against the federal government and a Republican president that he resigned his seat as a U.S. senator from Mississippi and was selected to be president of the new Confederate States of America. And in that capacity, he marshaled the forces of anti-federal government dissidents to formally fight the Union forces led by Republican President Abraham Lincoln.
In today’s America, there is Minnesota’s Democrat Governor Tim Walz following the path of Jefferson Davis, marshaling the forces of violent anti-federal government ICE protestors to fight federal government ICE employees led by another Republican president, Donald Trump. Not to mention that these forces saw fit to invade a church service, with Fox News reporting that the worship service inside was targeted because “protesters claimed a pastor inside was affiliated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
So much for freedom of religion.
So far along in his bullying rage has Walz become that Newsweek headlines: Tim Walz tells Democrats to “bully the s***” out of Donald Trump.
Got that? The governor of Minnesota is calling on Democrats to bully the elected president of the United States.
In short?
In short, what America has discovered is that this is a governor who not only believes in bullying others but also is egging on protestors who are rampaging through his state’s largest city.
And note: Once upon a time, Minnesota Democrats produced serious public officials with names like Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and Eugene McCarthy, two of whom were so respected they were elected vice president of the United States and later nominated for the presidency.
How far the Minnesota Democrats have fallen under the “leadership” of Governor Walz. Modeling himself not on Humphrey, Mondale, or McCarthy but on another long ago (and distinctly different!) Democrat who organized forces to fight the federal government: Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
And Walz’s fall into the pits of disgrace is not over yet.
Stay tuned.
