“Governor Walz’s executive orders are a clear admission of weakness. Just weeks ago, he promised a special session and a vote on an extreme, partisan gun ban. That effort collapsed because he couldn’t even get the votes from his own party.
Instead of enforcing the laws already on the books, Governor Walz has spent years turning a blind eye to rising crime and actively opposing efforts to remove violent criminals from our communities. When federal authorities step in to arrest criminals and fraudsters, Walz and his allies attack law enforcement instead of supporting them.
Now, with his poll numbers slipping and massive fraud scandals unfolding under his watch, the governor is resorting to executive orders that create new councils, studies, and bureaucracy — while criminals remain on the streets and Minnesotans feel less safe.
Minnesotans don’t need more task forces or political theater. They need a governor who will enforce the law, support law enforcement, and hold criminals accountable. Tim Walz had the authority to act. He chose diversion over leadership — and Minnesotans are paying the price.”
