Earlier this year, the fraud and other problems in Gov. Walz's Minnesota got so bad that "Tampon Tim" dropped his reelection bid.
Here are some brief reminders of what kind of things Walz's "leadership" brought to his state:
🚨 HOLY CRAP. Tim Walz was just EXPOSED for resuming taxpayer payments to Somali fraudsters at Feeding Our Future, and LYING ABOUT IT Tim Walz even got corrected by his state's own COURT, he's STUNNED JIM JORDAN: "Why didn't you tell the truth about why you RESTARTED the payments?" WALZ: "The agency believed the court required them to make those payments." JORDAN: "But that was FALSE...the court says the judge NEVER ordered you to resume Feeding Our Future payments...so the COURT'S lying?!" WALZ: "I can't tell you!" JIM JORDAN: "SOMEBODY'S lying! Either you're lying or the court's lying. Which one?!" WALZ: "I just know what the attorneys said." JORDAN: "Could it be you're trying to hide behind the court? Is it all about politics?!" Brutal. LOCK UP TIM WALZ!

NEW: DHS is accusing MN Gov. Tim Walz of trying to shield a Laotian illegal alien pedophile from being deported after Walz pardoned him for a 2006 conviction in which he repeatedly raped a 10-year-old girl in MN. DHS says Tou Lue Vang was issued a deportation order immediately after that conviction and was set to be imminently deported, but the pardon has now removed his deportable offenses and given him a clean record, which may thwart his removal and give him an avenue to fight deportation. WARNING GRAPHIC DETAILS BELOW: According to Vang's conviction documents from the state of Minnesota, in 2004, he repeatedly had penetrative sex with the 10-year-old girl on multiple occasions and forced oral sex upon her in which he ejaculated into her mouth. He told police "I made a mistake, but this is a minor thing...it's a cultural thing to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." He also said the child should be arrested and she was also at fault. Vang ultimately took a plea deal to plead guilty to the offense of first degree criminal sexual conduct. NYT reports he served no prison time as part of the deal. Vang was pardoned for the offense last month by the Minnesota Board of Pardons, which is made up of the MN Governor, MN Attorney General, and Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Court. All pardons must be approved by the MN Governor. DHS is now blasting the decision: “Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” said Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States.”

On top of all that, we all know what Tim Walz's addition to the Democrat presidential ticket in 2024 did to help boost Kamala Harris into the White House.
Add it all up and it's amazing that the Michigan Democrats thought it was a good idea to bring in Walz to endorse Jocelyn Benson for governor so she can pick up where Whitmer when it comes to making people move out of the state.
It’s simple: if we want to protect the progress we’ve made together, from free school meals to community college for all, Michigan has to elect another Democratic governor. Let’s elect @JocelynBenson on November 3rd! https://t.co/wiPHxvQoxc

"Help finish turning Michigan into what I've done in Minnesota" is quite the message to voters. If I ran the John James campaign I might put this in an ad.
@gretchenwhitmer @JocelynBenson @Tim_Walz We move forward by embracing the biggest perpetrator of fraud. Great messaging.

@gretchenwhitmer @JocelynBenson @Tim_Walz Is this a commercial for more Michigan Fraud? You are literally standing next to one of the biggest fraudsters in American history.

Let’s keep robbing the taxpayer blind. Keep voting for fraud, waste, and abuse.

Not being content with efforts to ruin his own state, Walz now wants to make mine even worse? Vote accordingly, Michigan!
