Disgraceful Tim Walz Says ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ Is Playing Out in MN, Won’t Admit ICE Is Arresting Child Molesters and Murderers– www.westernjournal.com

For all Democrats bragged about Gov. Tim Walz’s years as an educator, it’s a good thing he didn’t teach English.

The Minnesota chief executive, whose watch included a welfare fraud scandal that robbed potentially billions from Minnesota and American taxpayers, launched a rhetorical salvo Sunday against President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement by using one of the best-known symbols of Holocaust history.

And — true to “knucklehead” form — he got the comparison completely wrong.

As Fox News reported, Walz was engaged in a lengthy discourse about Saturday’s shooting of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis — a discourse that was equally partisan and predictable — when he strayed into the dark days of World War II.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said.

“Somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now.”

Yes, this is a real comment from the Governor of Minnesota.

Tim Walz: “Children are hiding in their houses afraid. We grew up reading the story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that story about Minnesota.”
