Boss Mode: Trump Delivers Priceless Response to Tim Walz on His 'Fort Sumter' Comments

RedState 

I reported earlier on Friday about how Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had made comments in an interview on Thursday with The Atlantic; it may have been his craziest yet in terms of his anti-ICE/anti-Trump mania. As RedState wrote, "This interview with The Atlantic is after he had spoken to Trump and Homan." 

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz worries that the violence in his state could produce a national rupture. “I mean, is this a Fort Sumter?” he mused today in an interview in his office at the state capitol. The island fortification near Charleston, South Carolina, is where Confederate forces fired the first shots of the Civil War in 1861. Now it’s federal forces that are risking a breach. “It’s a physical assault,” Walz told me. “It’s an armed force that’s assaulting, that’s killing my constituents, my citizens.”

He let his question about Fort Sumter hang without an answer.

He was dropping comparisons to the Civil War. Was he comparing himself to the Confederacy? Seriously, Tim? Then, to suggest the government is just shooting up his citizens is just peak delusion. He even mentioned John Brown and Harpers Ferry. 

Walz even spread an election conspiracy. 

Walz won’t be on the ballot in November’s election, but he thinks the contest is at the heart of the administration’s tactics. The Justice Department’s demand for Minnesota’s voter rolls, he said, was the giveaway. The president’s party, he predicted, will be “wiped out” in a free and fair vote—assuming there is one.

“But I hear Americans on this,” he added. What they say is, “‘What makes you think we can get to November?’”

Reporters asked President Donald Trump about Walz's comments at the White House on Friday. 

"Wow. Does he know what Fort Sumter was?" Trump asked. "Or do you think somebody wrote it out for him?" He went on to say that he was elected on law and order, and that was what all of this was about. 

That's a hilarious takedown of Walz. But it's true, Walz is not very bright. 

Does Tim know what happened in that scenario? Maybe that's not what he wants to be implying or inciting. Yet he's already shown he wants to keep ratcheting up the temperature when he makes Civil War references.

Tim knows he's in big trouble, between the massive fraud and the chaos he's helped to incite with the anti-ICE people. If he or they go full Civil War, it would not end well for them. They're already treading all over the insurrection line at this point; he shouldn't want to be trying to confirm that. 

I suspect that the next contact they have is not going to be pleasant for Walz. The WH and Congress need to hold the line and hold his feet to the fire when it comes to cooperation with ICE.
