Despite strict COVID “prevention” measures (that were later determined to be unscientific and ineffective) and a hotline encouraging residents to report their neighbors for violating them, Tim Walz’s handling of the pandemic led to the early deaths of thousands.
Fox News reports:
Under Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s watch during the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota experienced a devastating impact among its most vulnerable, as 80% of COVID-related deaths in the state occurred among residents of long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living centers.
The policy had since been scrubbed from official government websites, but could be found using archival searches.
“Patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 who still require transmission-based precautions for COVID-19 can be transferred to congregate living facilities,” the policy, acquired by the Wayback Machine, said.
“This was what everyone was doing. This was not a mistake. It wasn’t like no one thought about this. There was complexity in how you deal with this,” the Democratic governor said in May 2020 while the devastation was ongoing.
Many families complained to local media that they weren’t notified about COVID-positive cases in nursing homes and never got to say their goodbyes. Walz’s administration discouraged families from taking their loved ones out of nursing homes and bringing them home for visits.
Readers may wonder if the Minnesotans that lost their loved ones and were unable to visit them would agree that “it wasn’t a mistake” or the fact that “everyone was doing it” makes up for not being able to visit their elderly relatives or hold proper funerals for them after they passed — especially as rioters were allowed to run wild and gather in the streets by the thousands.
Everything the American people learn about Tim Walz’s gubernatorial leadership is only further confirmation that he shouldn’t be allowed within 1,000 feet of the White House, or any government building for that matter.
First, voters learned of his yellow-bellied leadership following the George Floyd riots of 2020. Then it was revealed that he embellished his military record and used these lies to push for gun control. Next, voters were made aware of the radical transgender policies he championed, turning Minnesota into a “sanctuary state” where children were able to obtain cross-sex surgeries and medications without parental consent. He also gave taxpayer funded healthcare and college to illegal immigrants in Minnesota, in addition to providing them with driver’s licenses.
Now, voters have learned that he joined Governor Cuomo of New York, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, and Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania as enemies of the elderly, sending them to early graves in 2020 by forcing nursing homes and assisted living facilities to take in COVID positive patients, despite early indications that the disease was deadliest for seniors.

My reply is the same one my mother used on me many times growing up when we did something stupid and our defense was : “He made me do it!”. Mom would reply: “And I suppose if your best friend jumped off of a bridge, you would too!” Running with a herd of panicked cattle is not a defense! Like so many politicians who panicked when “Little Lord Fauci” began his Fascist terror campaign, he crammed Covid-infected patients into nursing homes with vulnerable senior citizens who had compromised immune systems, then had the nerve to act surprised when the seniors started dropping like flies in a cloud of Raid! “Raid. Kills bugs dead!” The only difference between Walz and our former Governor, Charlie “Parker” Baker, is Baker saw the writing on the wall, and decided NOT to run for re-election, and landed a nice cushy seven-figure job as head of the NCAA instead, while the citizens of Minnesota aren’t so lucky, and are still stuck with this Bozo! God help us if he becomes Vice-President of these United States!
Same for CA
