IN FULL
Minnesota Governor and failed 2024 vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (D) has complained that people are driving by his home and calling him a retard, claiming that such language could lead to violence, just days after President Donald J. Trump referred to him as “retarded.” During a press conference on December 4, Walz claimed, “This creates danger,” adding, “I’d never seen this before. People driving by my house and using the r-word [retard] in front of people. This is shameful.”
Walz further complained that he has yet to see any elected Republicans agree with him that such behavior is “shameful,” saying, “I’m worried. We know how these things go. They start with taunts, and they turn to violence.”
The comments come just days after President Trump referred to Walz as “seriously retarded” on Truth Social last week, following reports of Somali migrant crime, including accusations of over a billion dollars in fraud. “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” President Trump said.
“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both,” he noted.
The corporate media attempted to make President Trump walk back the comments aboard Air Force One on November 30, but the President doubled down, saying, “Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him, absolutely, sure.”
He then referred to the Somali fraud case, where some money defrauded from U.S. taxpayers may have ended up funding the Islamist al-Qaeda franchise al-Shabaab. “Anybody that would do what [Walz] did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars [to] Somalia… It’s not even a country, because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name, but it doesn’t function like a country. Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz.”
Notably, hundreds of government workers in Walz’s own administration have accused him of covering up fraud by Somalis and retaliating against whistleblowers.
