Tim 'Cut-And-Run' Walz

When it comes to living up to his promises, count on DFL Gov. Tim Walz to cut-and-run. At Saturday morning's annual fishing opener ceremony, Gov. Walz did exactly that. Sarah Strommen, Gov. Walz's DNR Commissioner, announced "I want to also let people know that, unfortunately, Gov. Walz is not going to be with us at this event this morning. He was called away to the Capitol in the midst of the legislative negotiations but I did want to say on his behalf: he was here yesterday, he enjoyed the media row activity, he enjoyed visiting a lot of local businesses. I will tell you, as you know, these legislative negotiations are very important. It’s a budget this year. We need our budgets as state agencies or we can’t keep doing this work on behalf of our fisheries and tourism in Minnesota. So we’re going to give the governor a pass because he’s going to go help us reach a budget solution so we can keep up this fabulous work."

Kurt Daudt wasn't buying it:

Commissioner Strommen's comments don't pass the smell test. Gov. Walz wanted to avoid the protesters who wanted to express their displeasure with him:

"He took his victory lap yesterday in front of the press and, like everything else he does, chickened out because he probably heard about the protests, he probably heard that the bars and restaurants didn’t want him up here," a speaker at one of the stops said, referring to Walz. "He left this morning just like he left the state of Minnesota," she added.
Gov. Walz didn't leave to conduct negotiations. That's BS that should be immediately rejected. As Leader Daudt said, "all negotiations so far have been by zoom."

It's time to call Gov. Walz out on this. If he can't handle a protest, then he isn't man enough for the job.
