While speaking with reporters at the fair, a female reporter asked Walz, “What’s your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza?” At first, Walz appeared to be listening to the journalist, but midway through it he shot a glance at an aide and shouted “Alright, thanks everybody!” while walking away with what appeared to be a milkshake or ice cream cone in hand.

The only video of his appearance at the state fair actually shared by Walz himself on X shows the governor describing the fair’s pork chops as the “breakfast of champions.”

On social media, conservatives reacted to Walz’s dodge with outrage.
