(Minneapolis, MN) — Republican U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is blaming Governor Tim Walz for letting Minneapolis burn during the unrest after the George Floyd murder in 2020.
Johnson stopped in Minneapolis yesterday to campaign for House GOP candidate Joe Teirab. While standing outside the old Third Precinct police headquarters that was burned down, Johnson said while Walz let Minnesota burn, it was Kamala Harris who poured gasoline on the flames by helping bail out those who held the matches.
He says that Harris supported the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which is a nonprofit that pays for bail and immigration bonds for those who can’t afford to do so themselves.
