Flashback: There Was a Time Tim Walz Was Willing to Call in the National Guard. Guess When That Was.

Minneapolis has descended into chaos, thanks to the failed leadership of Tim Walz and Jacob Frey. Rioters have ransacked ICE vehicles, tried to take down a fence around an ICE facility, and the assaults on agents continue. Walz hasn’t deployed the National Guard in the city, despite calling on President Trump to “turn down the temperature” while he screams that federal law enforcement is “occupying” the city.

But there was a time when Walz wasn’t so reluctant to call in the National Guard. Back in 2021, he deployed them to protect the Minnesota State Capitol before and after Biden’s inauguration.

“I can assure you that the plans are in place,” Walz said. 

“What you can expect to see is an appropriate presence of folks there to ensure that there are peaceful gatherings, to make sure that the intent to do damage to any of the buildings will not happen, and that folks can go about doing their daily things without interference from folks who disrupt,” Walz said.

Gee, like Leftists who stop guys with Suburbans and demanding they prove they’re not ICE? Or when a Leftist confronted a CNN reporter to demand she tell him what outlet she was with?

“This is a new world now, where we’ve seen people have taken rhetoric offline and taken it into the real world. Legislators here: these are moms and dads, business owners, teachers, nurses, and doctors who come to the Capitol to do the people’s work for a couple of months out of the year. These people are posting their names and their addresses online and threatening to go to their houses,” Walz said.
