“Violent rhetoric has no place in politics, nor does selective partisan outrage about violent rhetoric. Gov. Walz shamelessly joked about waking up to find out President Trump may have died, and Minnesotan Democrats were silent.

“That’s because they would much rather talk about Trump than work to lower the cost of living, slow government growth, or take meaningful action to stop the fraud that plagues our state. The legislative session is only months away, Minnesota Democrats should focus on what we can control here in Minnesota, rather than fanning political flames.”
