House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., is criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz following the release of David Brom, who was convicted of killing his parents and two younger siblings with an axe in 1988, as reported by Fox News.
Brom’s release came under a 2023 state law signed by Walz that reformed sentencing for juvenile offenders.
“Once again, Tim Walz proves why he is one of the worst governors in the country,” Emmer told Fox News Digital.
“Not only do his soft-on-crime policies rob victims of the justice they deserve, but they also put the safety of every Minnesotan at risk. Being a self-proclaimed knucklehead doesn’t excuse the chaos he has caused with his dangerous, far-left agenda.”
Emmer, the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, joined other Minnesota Republicans in condemning Brom’s release, calling it “a slap in the face” to the victims’ families.
