First time a Minnesota Governor has REFUSED to debate his oponent LIVE, on Statewide television!
What does that tell you about his interest in fair elections?

[Tom-czop]

If I steal your money and give you a portion of it back am I a politician?

[rudyb]

We need a NEW governor here in Minnesota. Walz didn’t do anything for Minnesota during the Covid.

[aliciacat]

Misleading? No, it is called lying. And then there is the matter of a quarter of a billion dollars…..

[nathanielraydavis]

I certainly didn't get any Walz check. I didn't get a Walz check, a Wellstone check, a Mondale check or a Hubert Humphrey check. And Sleep at the Wheel Joe has been horribly neglectful sending out my federal stimulus. Democrats are just pathetic.

[arthurbrumagem]

With his economic policies he is taking money OUT of working families pockets

[pannamal]

Walz, our children only missed 10 days of in school education, fact check, children missed 100 days during the pandemic

[ryanholmes]

It was supposed to be from $750 to $1200. $487 is a big difference.

[jenfern]

I've never been more sure that moving to Florida was the right choice. Horribly run state

[mn]

We need a complete re boot of our government this is a joke

[bigwhisky]

Weird, a democrat lying.
Very Weird...

[Coyote.]

Get ready for another shut down this winter small business owners and high taxes.
But you'll be okay because they gave you $500 back.

[rickysubie]

They say don't judge a book by its cover... but man, he gives off an evil lookin vibe. His mishandling of the floyd riots alone should have people voting him out.

[conversationswithme]

He can't remember. He's a Drunk.

[wubiothecockerspaniel]

Walz lied …walz failed vote red vote Jensen/birk

[kochilired]

I’m just American taking all checks to survive! 😅

[johburale]

Vote Democrats up and down. Republicans will be a terrible for the state.

Printing money only works when there is a surplus of goods and services in the supply chain. That little fact is basic entry level economics that anyone can understand, and yet we’re being told by these officials that’s not the case or they’re just ignoring the fact and just saying hey we are going to give everyone a check. Now shut up and like it. And of course all the young adults who outnumber every other generation are going to love it because they’re not used to having money anyway and won’t see the consequences looming on the horizon as a result of it. I understand we preach about the constitution as the law of the land but for anyone who’s been to court probably knows that’s not the case. We are more of a country ruled by case law. But, I’m curious... If the constitution really was relevant today how many laws has Walz alone broken and shouldn’t he be wanted for treason?
