“They took the American flags and their MAGA flags and they left.

Walz accused Trump of catalyzing protestors
Tim Walz claims Donald Trump’s actions contributed to the incident.
Walz toldPolitico, “It brought armed people to my house.”
Journalist Patrick Kessler live-tweeted the incident, stating that Walz reached out to Trump.
Walz told Politico that he didn’t receive a satisfactory response from Trump: “I asked for clarification.
I never got it.
I said ‘What does ‘Liberate Minnesota’ mean?'”
While Trump remembered just one interaction with Walz, Walz recalled speaking to him multiple times throughout his presidency.
“He made public statements, during the unrest with George Floyd, that ‘Gov.
Walz knows how to do this, he’d been in the military,'” he said.
Trump’s story involving Walz isn’t the first time ego has informed his campaign style.
In 2013, Trump made a point of extolling the importance of one’s sense of self.
