Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lied about the shooting today in Minneapolis, which left a violent protester dead. Naturally, Tampon Tim and his fellow Democrats wanted Americans to believe that the protester was an innocent champion of justice, whom the Border Patrol brutally murdered. The truth is very different, and illustrates how despicable and dangerous Walz’s lies are.
Border Patrol, like all federal immigration officers, are trained to react certain ways in potentially deadly situations to protect themselves and innocent bystanders. If a person approaches Border Patrol brandishing a firearm, and then violently resists disarming, he is probably going to get seriously hurt, if not killed. That is what did, in fact, occur in Minneapolis, and evidence indicates the man aimed to commit a mass casualty attack. But Democrats didn’t want to wait for the facts, because they know the facts never do fit their narrative.
Indeed, we saw another sample of that this week with the hoax about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supposedly detaining a five-year-old. In reality, the child’s father abandoned him, the mother refused to take custody, and ICE officers went above and beyond to protect and help the boy. That did not, of course, stop Democrats from sending messages of empathy to the horrible parents of the boy, or from claiming ICE are monsters kidnapping children.
The shooting in Minneapolis follows on this barrage of fake news. Walz and his ilk absolutely have blood on their hands for their lies.

Walz immediately rushed to blame Border Patrol for the new shooting. “I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” he ranted on X. “The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.” The officers are not violent and untrained. They reacted as their training prescribed to a potentially deadly and out-of-control individual who presented a serious threat.
Assaults on federal immigration officers have increased by 1,347% because of lies such as these. The Department of Homeland Security explained how the would-be domestic terrorist ended up dead:
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun…The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.
Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but [he] was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
No doubt leftist radicals would be delighted if an officer or multiple officers had ended up dead instead.
Leftist rioters have spent years engaging in blatantly criminal and extremely dangerous conduct with few to no consequences. They assume that is how it always will be. They are cowards and bullies who believe they should be able to cause any amount of damage, and injure or even kill as many people as they want, without ever facing the consequences. Media propagandists and Democrat politicians encourage that mentality. That is why they are all complicit in the deaths of protestor Renee Good and the violent fool who tried to attack Border Patrol in Minneapolis.
