In a rambling video posted to social media on Monday, Hope Walz, the 24-year-old daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has accused conservatives and the “entire right-wing infrastructure” of launching a “hate and bot campaign” against her family.
The sob story from the governor’s daughter comes amid allegations of widespread fraud in Minnesota’s Somali community programs under her father’s administration, which appear to have cost taxpayers billions.
Instead of addressing the substance of the accusations, Hope portrayed herself as a victim, whining that the exposure is “how people get hurt” and complaining about life in a “post-truth world.”
“In the name of transparency, because I think that is what people appreciate about me and my content,” Hope Walz begins. “I’ll be honest in saying that having the entire right-wing infrastructure launch a hate and bot campaign against you and your family really sucks, especially because I’m a private citizen. Like I pay my rent. I work multiple jobs.”
Hope Walz continues to describe an “extreme amount, overwhelming amount of DMs, comments, emails just peddling propaganda, pushing agendas.”
“I don’t have anything to do with anything,” she claims. “It really, really hurts. Yeah, this is how people get hurt. And I have a great support system and I’m like very confident in who I am as a person in the work that I do. But living like a post-truth world is really scary.”
She claims those who “just believe what their dear leader tells them to spin reality to fit that.”
“I’m gonna, you know, continue to do my own thing. I just felt the need to say that,” she concludes.
The video was initially posted on Hope Walz’s social media and was reposted on X by journalist Eric Daugherty.
In his caption, Daugherty wrote, “Fraud Father Tim Walz’s daughter is now FURIOUSLY accusing MAGA of stoking violence by exposing Somali fraud under Tim’s watch… Tell your dad to RESIGN so taxpayers can claw back their money. Nobody is advocating violence, only ACCOUNTABILITY.”
