Tim Walz Offers Classy Response After Trump Refuses To ‘Waste Time’ Calling Him Following Minnesota Shootings

But rather than engage in petty squabbles, Walz’s spokesperson Teddy Tschann released the following statement:

“Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz. It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, & the State of Minnesota, and the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal.”

Trump is Walz’s polar opposite in his response to the shootings—and he was harshly criticized in response.

The suspect in the Minnesota shootings had a “hit list” of 45 elected officials, all of whom are Democrats.

At a Saturday news conference, state police said they recovered a list of names from what they identified as the suspect’s vehicle. Among those listed were Hortman, Hoffman, Walz, Senator Tina Smith, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, as well as Planned Parenthood locations the shooter intended to target.

The Minnesota shootings are the latest in a troubling pattern of politically motivated violence nationwide. A report released last year by the Brennan Center for Justice found that nearly half of state legislators surveyed had faced threats or physical attacks. Meanwhile, the U.S. Capitol Police have reported a sharp increase in threats targeting members of Congress.
