Tim Walz and Kamala Harris Are the Pro-Rioter Ticket

Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are a match made in heaven. 

At least if you are an Antifa rioter, both of them did everything they could to facilitate the burning down of Minneapolis. Walz by initially opposing the deployment of National Guard troops and greenlighted the abandonment of Minneapolis' Third Police Precinct, leading to its burning down.

Walz, who served in the National Guard himself, insulted every guardsman by denigrating their professionalism and insisting that the rioters and the city itself would be better off if the violent looters were left to destroy the city. 

Walz even praised the rioters and closed our Interstate highway to allow protesters to march. He told Minnesotans that these protests were an opportunity to fundamentally change the system and were an "exciting" sign of "optimism."

He really said that. 

He blamed the Mayor of Minneapolis--who is indeed very liberal--for all the destruction. It took a long time for it to come out that our Mayor Jacob Frey asked for help from the state and he was denied assistance until things got so bad that the riots began to spread to Saint Paul--where the governor currently lives.

I live a few miles from where the riots were most densely focused, but until the National Guard finally was deployed they kept getting closer and closer. It got so dangerous that I lent my neighbor a gun. He is a black man and was very grateful--we both wanted to protect our homes. 

He now owns a gun himself. Neither of us trusts the government to do its job anymore. 

Minneapolis has been bleeding police officers who feel betrayed. They are so understaffed right now that in my precinct--one of the more crime-ridden in the city--the police no longer respond to gunshots unless somebody is bleeding or dead. Often there are only 2-4 police officers available for an entire precinct. 

There were about 900 police officers before the George Floyd riots. Now, there are about 560. 

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara recently highlighted the challenges his department faces amid a significant shortage of officers and a surge in violent crime, CBS News reported.

“I try to come out [to emergency call responses] to show the officers I am here to back you up,” O’hara stated.

Currently, the Minneapolis Police Department is grappling with a shortage of over 200 officers, having lost 40% of its force in the past four years. O’Hara described the situation as “incredible.”

“It’s not just that we lost 40% of the force, they’ve been facing the highest levels of crime and violence, in some categories, that the city has ever seen,” O’Hara said.

Few rioters were ever charged and convicted, and one of the reasons is that Kamala Harris fundraised for the Minnesota Freedom Fund specifically to bail out rioters. Many of those bailed out went on to commit crimes, up to and including murder. 

She raised millions of dollars for the organization, and continued to do so for years at ActBlue. She supported defunding the police. 

The local media tried to cover it up despite covering the fact in 2020, and some enterprising Twitterati discovered that she continued to raise money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund through at least last month.

It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to point out that both Walz and Harris are pro-criminal and pro-riot. They are demonstrably so. 

They both saw the George Floyd riots as a good thing. Kamala literally kneeled in protest along with them. 

The Harris-Walz ticket is the most pro-crime and radical presidential ticket in American history. They both worked to ensure that Minneapolis burned, and my city remains scarred today. Cell phone data shows that Minneapolis downtown activity is barely above 50% of what it was prior to COVID and the riots. 

It is simply unsafe to go there. I know, because I used to walk downtown regularly, and now I won't go there, and I don't know a single person who will if they don't have to.

That is what Kamala and Tim did to my city. Don't let them do it to yours.
