On Tuesday, social media was on fire when a viral video of Kamala Harris’ wife, who is her running mate and also a presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, went viral. She describes her involvement in the 2020 Minneapolis Riots.
Gwen Walz is the first lady and wife of Democratic Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Tim Walz has been chosen as Vice President Harris’ running mate in the Democratic presidential ticket for 2024.
Walz handled George Floyd’s 2020 death with great care. It was an important part of his gubernatorial career. Floyd’s death sparked nationwide protests against police violence and racism.
Walz’s wife told KSTP in July 2020 that “we had to endure another sleepless night due to the riots.” “I could smell the burning tires, and it was very real.” ” I kept the windows open as much as possible because it felt like a tangible way to know what was happening. ”
Conservative commentators were shocked at Gwen Walz’s comments after the video clip became viral on social media.
What would you call it? Bizarre? Abnormal? Peculiar, Eccentric? Offbeat or Quirky – and why?
Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA described the remarks made by Turning Point USA as “weird”.
Abigail Shrier is a journalist who called the story “profoundly troubling”. “We need to learn a lot more about the Walzes. ”
Dustin Grage, the president of a conservative Minnesota consulting firm. He called Walz’s comments “bizarre.” Grage said, “Her daughter (Walz) also coordinated with rioters to inform them of the National Guard’s absence on a particular night.”
Matt Walsh, Daily Wire host on X said: “This brief clip contains all you need to know about the leftist elites.” “Tim Walz’s wife was seated by the window and enjoying the smells of burning neighborhoods, during the Floyd Riots.”
Everything you need to know about leftist elites can be found in this short clip. Tim Walz’s wife sat by the window enjoying the smell of poor neighborhoods burning during the Floyd riots. She did everything but pull out a fiddle.

Gov. Walz was criticized for his handling of the riots. Conservatives claimed that Walz sat on his hands as the state was overtaken by riots.
Many businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul were severely damaged by the lack of action and had to ask their local governments for help in recovery.
The First Lady Walz said that she was aware at the time of the attention Minnesota received on a national level.
“But, when Mr. Floyd passed away, the whole world and country watched and listened to what we Minnesotans did in response. ”
Republicans are scrutinizing the record of Walz and Harris, as well as the other candidates. They want to know how they dealt with the 2020 crisis.
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis stated, “Minnesota will be the starting point for BLM2020 riots.” Ron DeSantis: “Harris encouraged the riots, while Walz stood back and watched Minneapolis burn. ”
JD Vance, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate and running mate of former President Trump in 2020, made fun of Walz’s past on Tuesday. He called Walz’s inclusion on the Democratic ticket an “interesting tag team “.
“If we remember the rioting in the summer of 2020, Tim Walz was the guy who let rioters burn down Minneapolis,” he said of the riots that began in Minnesota in response to the death of Floyd while being arrested in Minneapolis. “And then Kamala Harris was the one who bailed the rioters out of jail.”
