In his State of the State address on Wednesday evening, Nebraska Fats Gov. Tim Walz basically used much of his allotted time as an extension of his national townhall tour.
Walz excoriated (President Donald) Trump, saying he’s chosen to “destroy the federal government’s ability to help people” and “throw our economy into turmoil.”
In his primetime speech to a narrowly divided Minnesota Legislature, Walz positioned himself as a foil to Trump while expressing his willingness to work with Republicans at home. He looked at his legacy over the past six years, framing it around investments made in schools and families. The speech was reflective of Walz’s ambitions as a governor who’s mulling running for re-election while also leaving the door open to a possible national bid in 2028.
“As governor, I will continue to do everything in my power to protect Minnesotans from getting hurt, and continue to provide shelter from the storm,” Walz said.
Not really sure how prioritizing a far left prog agenda, unabashedly supporting a culture of death and squandering an $18 billion budget surplus squares with those objectives, but I'm certain Walz doesn't know either.
In the aftermath of Walz's address, my state Rep. Harry Niska (R-Ramsey) rightfully called out Walz's demagoguery.
Like @GovTimWalz, we are not elected to federal office, so our job is to reckon with Minnesota’s challenges. It is unfortunate that, instead, Gov. Walz engaged in a continued Trump Deflection Strategy centered around an angry anti-Trump rant. pic.twitter.com/OYARMol18C

Normally I'm not a big fan of symbolic, partisan legislation which is used to ding the other party. That said, Minnesota Republicans may have been on to something with their attempts to designate "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a legit mental illness.
