DEM GOV. TIM WALZ: “I have a very simple message: We do not need any further help from the federal government.”
“To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: You’ve done enough.”

Tim Walz openly called for an insurrection and threatened to use the state National Guard to contest federal agents. “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard,” Walz said in a press event. “We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks,” Walz said. “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.”
Walz mistakenly believes those “soldiers in training” are there to protect his own self-interests. State authority cannot override federal authority. The Minnesota National Guard would not openly start a Civil War by listening to Tim Walz over the Commander-in-Chief.
The governor announced he would not seek re-election amid the $9 billion and counting Somali-led scheme to defraud taxpayers under the guise of social programs. The recent ICE shooting in Minneapolis occurred less than a mile from where George Floyd overdosed during an arrest, and had there not been video evidence, the city would have burnt down once more. Guard units are currently on standby, while the Minnesota State Patrol has already mobilized members of its Mobile Response Team in anticipation of civil unrest. Walz asked residents to display “peaceful resistance” before threatening an actual civil war.
Tim Walz seemingly wants to go full scorched Earth before he exits politics. “Game’s over for [Republicans], now. It was all me, I was the bad guy or whatever, well, put up or shut up now and tell us what you’re going to do to make this state better,” Walz told reporters.
Walz is merely one example of a governor boldly defying federal law, inciting civil unrest, and displaying precisely why the United States cannot remain united. Other state leaders have barked back at Washington. The Democrats are losing favor with voters and becoming unhinged. These cracks will ultimately result in a full division of the United States as we move toward 2032.
