Not only are Democrats masters at gaslighting, they are also very good at a) shifting blame; b) refusing to take responsibility for their actions; and c) lying like it’s their job. Enter Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
This is the same man who branded ICE the “Gestapo” and declared Minnesota “at war” with the federal government now insists he’s never used inflammatory language—after yesterday’s shooting. Oh, and he referred to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as an “executioner.”

Walz 1 minute later: “Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and basically executioner yesterday.”
This guy is – well, he’s something I can’t write:
? Three people were just shot outside an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.
Remember: Tim Walz helped fuel this rhetoric when he smeared them as Trump’s “modern-day Gestapo.”

As Democrats nationwide labeled an ICE agent—targeted by a speeding car—a “murderer,” Walz announced he was deploying the National Guard to protect Minnesotans from “rogue” federal agents.
Yesterday, Tim Walz declared Minnesota is at "war against the federal government."
Again today, he called it "war with our federal government."

But none of that, we’re told, is inflammatory. And naturally, no one has been inflamed.

After all, his lieutenant governor openly urged Minnesotans to use their “bodies” to obstruct ICE law enforcement—and, right on cue, they have.
Democrats call for rioters to “put your body on the line.” Rioters do that. One eventually gets shot while accelerating an SUV into an ICE agent. Democrats and leftists blame the Trump administration and urge for more direct action against ICE. https://t.co/kNErJOxN2p

Walz is now explicitly invoking the Civil War as inspiration—which should give any sane observer pause. He declares himself “at war” with the federal government, brands law enforcement officers “rogue,” talks openly about deploying armed military troops to expel them from the state, and casually labels the Secretary of Homeland Security an “executioner.”

And yet he insists on controlling the investigation—assuring the public that he and his employees will, of course, be perfectly fair and dispassionate.

This is the same Tim Walz who gave rioters free rein to burn parts of Minneapolis to the ground, including a police precinct. He waited days to deploy the National Guard to defend the city—but needed only hours to float using it to evict federal law enforcement.
From this angle, it's clear the officer was actually hit head-on at first and then bounced off to the side.
The whole "she just barely brushed him" narrative is a lie. And one people are knowingly repeating to stoke violence. https://t.co/ELNRz7MDRm

Walz is now walking back some of his earlier remarks—not out of principle, but because he was openly describing an insurrection, which would be an open invitation for President Trump to deploy a lot of federal troops into the state. Even so, he continues to escalate the rhetoric, just more carefully.
There's some deep irony in MN authorities refusing to work with ICE for years now complaining about ICE not working with them. https://t.co/gGXqvNKLOK

Low-level violence is already simmering on our streets, and it is close to boiling over. ICE agents here and across the country are being showered with death threats—and Democratic Party politicians are not restraining the mob, but inciting it.

Tim Walz and Keith Ellison—who now wants control of the investigation—have, shall we say, every incentive to keep tensions boiling. Both are entangled in serious allegations involving federal tax dollars, and nothing rallies the left faster than a manufactured showdown with Trump over immigration enforcement.
BREAKING: Tim Walz announces that he issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to "protect Minnesotans" from "rogue Ice Agents."

And to think, this jack leg almost became our vice president. Meanwhile, let’s be clear about one thing: The Democratic Party is escalating the rhetoric because it wants this confrontation—and needs it. They have been baiting, taunting, and agitating until violence was no longer a risk, but an outcome.
Leftist appears to THREATEN the life of the ICE officer who shot a woman in MN after she tried to run him over.

We all saw the video — ICE murdered a woman in cold blood and robbed a 6 year old child of their mother.

Not all Democrats are Trump-deranged lunatics, but all Trump-deranged lunatics seem to be Democrats.
