The Minnesota governor unexpectedly announced this month that he wouldn’t run for re-election.
Walz had said this month that he would not seek re-election as governor — sending shock waves through state and national politics — but he did not go so far as to say he would not consider another elected position down the line.
In explaining his decision Wednesday, Walz talked about the scenes unfolding in Minneapolis between residents and federal officers. He said he found that there are “heroes on the streets that we don’t know their names.”
“They’re never going to run for office, and those grass-tops leaders brought this administration to their knees this week to do something about it. So there’s other ways to serve, and I’ll find them,” he said.
Ross was spirited away from the scene and hidden away immediately, like before his gun cooled down. There was no opportunity for any MN officials to act.
As for lawsuits, a news search for “Minnesota lawsuit” turns up lots of stories, like this one which talks about the one Ellison filed on the 12th to end the invasion. Courts are slow; they can’t keep up with events on the ground.
Lastly, the DNC is pretty much irrelevant these days. It’s not a surprise; folks here on the Threadiverse have told me that the Democrats aren’t there to fight for us, and we have to make them do what we want. It’s a fascinating and weird mindset, but does appear to be accurate these days. Anyway, this isn’t two teams facing off anymore, and the regime is attacking people directly. It doesn’t matter if the DNC rolls over, the people of Minneapolis aren’t.
