At the end of January, Senator Amy Klobuchar announced she was stepping into the Minnesota Governor’s race, just weeks after Governor Tim Walz announced he was dropping out amid the ongoing Somali fraud scandal. Klobuchar won reelection to the Senate last November, meaning she’s still got most of her current six-year term left. If she wins the gubernatorial race this year, that means her seat will need to be filled.
Someone asked Tim Walz if he would fill her seat for the rest of her term, and see if you can spot how we know Walz is lying when he says, “I would rather eat glass.”
Did you catch Walz’s tell? He touches his nose and his ear when he’s lying.
The same day that Klobuchar announced her campaign for governor, Walz said he was never going to run for elected office again.
We guess that the word “run” was the key there. Because he wouldn’t be running for Senate. He would just appoint himself to take Klobuchar’s seat.
Grage also spoke with an unnamed Minnesota state legislator who called B.S. on Walz’s statement.
