Tim Walz, who is credibly accused of covering up the fraud, is taking an aggressive stance against Republicans, while claiming his state is doing great economically and educationally (it is not). He is very angry about being called a "retard." Maybe he should then stop calling Republicans Nazis, white supremacists, fascists, threats to democracy, and so on. He called ICE the Gestapo.
