Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley delivered a scorching rebuke to Minnesota's progressive establishment after Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey immediately launched into their predictable anti-law enforcement tirade following a Border Patrol-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
In a blistering series of posts on X, Turley exposed the shameless political theater that has become standard operating procedure for Minnesota's radical leadership whenever a law enforcement incident occurs. Rather than waiting for facts or supporting the men and women who risk their lives to protect our communities, Walz and Frey chose to fan the flames of division with their reckless rhetoric.
This is the same playbook that turned Minneapolis into a war zone during the 2020 riots, when these same leaders stood by and watched as radical mobs burned down police precincts and destroyed entire neighborhoods. Now they're at it again, rushing to judgment and throwing law enforcement under the bus before any investigation can even begin.
The Pattern of Progressive Pandering
Turley's takedown highlights a disturbing pattern among progressive politicians who consistently side with criminals and anti-police activists over the brave officers who put their lives on the line every single day. While President Trump's administration works to restore law and order across America, radical governors like Walz continue to undermine public safety with their divisive rhetoric.
"The rush to condemn law enforcement before facts emerge has become the default position for far-left politicians who care more about virtue signaling than public safety," one law enforcement expert noted.
This latest incident perfectly illustrates why Minnesota voters are growing tired of Walz's failed leadership. Under his watch, Minneapolis has become synonymous with lawlessness and anti-police extremism, driving businesses and families to flee the state in droves.
As President Trump works to secure our borders and restore respect for law enforcement, it's clear that radical governors like Walz and mayors like Frey represent everything wrong with the progressive approach to public safety. Their knee-jerk condemnation of Border Patrol agents doing their job is exactly why Americans rejected their ideology at the ballot box.
How long will Minnesota residents tolerate leaders who consistently side with chaos over law and order?
