Failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz vowed to protect Minnesota from President-elect Donald Trump’s “hateful agenda,” in his own words, during a speech.  Governor Walz (D-Minn.) spoke at a Eagan, Minnesota, high school auditorium, where he reflected on the presidential race and questioned why so many Americans would vote for Trump. Walz is a weak idiot'

     “It’s hard to understand why so many of our fellow citizens, people who we have fought so long and hard for, wound up choosing the other path,” Walz stated. “It’s hard to reckon with what that path looks like for the next four years.”  Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN): "I just want to acknowledge the moment. It's hard. It's hard to lose. It's hard to understand why so many of our fellow citizens, people that we have fought so long and hard for, wound up choosing the other path..."

“The other side spent a lot of time campaigning and talking about and promising that they would leave things up to the states. Well, I’m willing to take them at their word for that,” Walz continued. “The moment they try and bring a hateful agenda in this state, I’m going to stand ready to stand up and fight.”

     Walz also acknowledged the over 1.5 million Minnesotans who supported Trump, adding that he needs to “swallow a bit of pride,” and foster an environment for “everyone to be heard.”  “I will say and acknowledge this: about one and a half million of our fellow Minnesotans voted for the other side in this election,” he stated. “And while there might not be a place in our state for the most extreme elements of that agenda, there should be a place in our politics for everyone to be heard.”
