The Minnesota governor said that the path to tyranny “is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was testifying before Congress about his state’s handling of immigration when he learned Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security news conference Thursday.
The irony, he told the attendees of the Center for American Progress’ “Listening to Lead” event Friday, was in lawmakers grilling him and his colleagues, Govs. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y. and JB Pritzker, D-Ill., over the “incredible crime of treating people like human beings” as FBI agents tackled a sitting senator to the ground and handcuffed him in Los Angeles.
“I am not prone to hyperbole. I am prone to, like, popping off a little bit. I know that,” Walz said, prefacing his argument that Americans are living in a “dangerous” time. “I believed all along we were marching towards authoritarianism, and people were telling me in December, ‘You know, you’re overreacting.’ And I said, “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.”
agreed, now how about supporting genocide, is the time for that over Waltz?
Hrm?
Well?
All quiet all of a sudden eh. Put up or shut up, Waltz. You are a political whore or you’re not. Are you following Biden’s example here or not.
Its people like Waltz who lost us the last election. You cant run a pro-genocide campaign from the left and expect to win.
Walz and democrats aren’t leftists, they’re conservatives. Stop being an idealist, we have/had the option of conservatism or extremist conservatism. If you’re calling Walz “the left” then you’re doing the work of extremist propagandists for them, you fucking idiot. Have some god damned situational understanding and realize that the lesser of two evils is all we get in this country if we’re lucky, maybe take a minute and absorb the authoritarian genocidal regime that is in power instead of complaining about the lite version not being perfect leftists, you fucking twit. Use some rationalism.
Are you talking to an imaginary friend, cause we cannot hear him.
Maybe you can stick to your Australia politics and get that sorted, eh? You lot have more than enough of your own mess, isn’t that right? But thanks for taking the time to carry water for the genocide, and commenting on politics in another country.
And I specified ‘Waltz’ in the line before you started copying. So you’re just fabricating some situation to pretend to be correct, arent you.
Aussie politics are in amazing shape atm, the right lost harder than it ever has in our entire history, but nice try. Did you have fun looking up my profile?
Like Americans have kept their noses out of other countries politics before. Rules for thee but not for me right?
You are talking like he is going to reply to you, when he isn’t. The only conclusion I could make is your talking to your imaginary friend instead.
Lol, the amount of grammatical & spelling mistakes you’re making and you’re attacking my English. That American education system is doing you plenty of favours.
No.
In addition to your comments he might wanna know that “Waltz” isn’t a person
I know, he is such a dummy. It’s obviously a dance.
And The Band Played Waltzing Mathilda comes to mind for me…. The Aussies already learned the lesson Americans are going to have to learn very soon.
The Australian government is supporting genocide.
