Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has benefitted from being covered by the media force field as Kamala Harris’s running mate but he can’t duck his record forever, and it’s an ugly one.
While lying about his military service is being rightfully called out, a much more serious problem is that he essentially allowed violent criminals to burn and loot his state’s largest city for days while he took a hands-off approach during the George Floyd race riots.
One retired police lieutenant rejected the false portrayal of Walz as a “moderate” and suggested that he “let Minneapolis burn” as part of a “much greater scheme” to stick it to the cops.
Retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel dished a real take on “Tampon Tim” that won’t be seen anywhere in the corrupt mainstream media, telling Fox News Digital that the Democrat vice presidential nominee isn’t the man he’s being portrayed to be.

“You’ve seen what’s happened with our governor in the media,” he said. “You are finding out that he isn’t Uncle Timmy as Minnesota folks would like you to think he is, and he has been a part of a dismantling of public safety in Minnesota.”
“He’s anti-police, defund the police, when you have police families and we have an officer killed in the line of duty; when that family looks at the governor and says we don’t want you at the funeral,” Nagel said.
“That should tell you a great deal of how law enforcement in general feels about Walz,” he added, referring to the wife of slain Pope County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Owen who was killed in the line of duty while responding to a domestic disturbance call last year when she told the governor that his presence was unwelcome at her husband’s funeral.
Minnesota-based Alpha News reported that the deputy’s wife Shannon confirmed that when she got a call from the governor she told him to not bother showing up because “he does not support law enforcement.”
Nagel told Fox News Digital that one of the main reasons why law enforcement dislikes Walz is this handling of the 2020 unrest that erupted after the career criminal and drug addict died while resisting arrest, setting off a coast-to-coast wave of mayhem with Minneapolis as the epicenter.

“We’re hearing this over and over and over again, he let Minneapolis burn,” said Nagel, a Republican who’s running in Minnesota House District 46A. “I think he intentionally let Minneapolis burn.”
“I think it was all part of a much greater scheme because he truly doesn’t like the police. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison has never liked the police,” he added, referring to the former congressman, now the state’s radical cop-hating top prosecutor. “They have been involved with people who are defunding the police.”
Like Harris, Walz has been evasive when it comes to doing actual interviews and twice rejected the New York Times’ request for stories about his response to the Floyd riots.
Nagel, who gave the state 30 years of dedicated service in uniform was asked by Fox News Digital what voters not familiar with Walz should understand about him from the perspective of a law enforcement officer.
“I think they need to understand that he’s not truthful, I think they need to understand that he’s power hungry, they need to understand that he’s not doing this for the good of the people,” he said.
