Embattled Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was all too eager to deflect from his own massive fraud scandal after the tragic ICE altercation that left one protester dead.
Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent after she reportedly blocked and then targeted an agent with her SUV.
The agent had previously been rammed and dragged by a vehicle in June, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
But, before the dust could settle over the terrible incident, Walz was running his mouth with “Civil War style” rhetoric, stating he had the Minnesota National Guard “in training” and is prepared to stop federal ICE agents “if necessary.”

Umm… What?
As can be seen, X users added context to Walz’s incendiary comments, noting such a move would be an official act of “rebellion.”
The Minnesota madman earned a sizeable beatdown on X too:

If he does this, it is a literal insurrection, and we’ll have no choice but to act accordingly. pic.twitter.com/jBs2krO5dF

Is Walz REALLY suggesting American troops would go into combat AGAINST American federal agents? The word sedition comes to mind.

This piece of shit will literally burn down his own state rather than face federal charges for fraud.

Plenty of X users noted that they smelled “desperation” in the air:
Desperation is a stinky cologne. What a piece of shit he is.

He’s considering using the National Guard to prevent the FEDs from arresting HIM. He’s desperate right now.

That kind of language is wildly irresponsible, full stop, when a governor starts talking like he’s going to use the Guard to block the federal government, that’s not leadership, that’s chest-thumping theater that scares people and muddies the law, the National Guard exists to…
