🚨 MN REP. PAM ALTENDORF SOUNDS THE ALARM: Minnesota State Representative Pam Altendorf issued a blistering critique of Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey on Saturday, accusing them of "inciting violence" following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.Altendorf stated that Walz’s immediate social media posts—which labeled federal agents as "violent and untrained"—are "absolutely unacceptable" and are turning Minnesota into a dangerous "pressure cooker".Pam: "Hey everyone, this is Minnesota State Representative Pam Altendorf. It is Saturday morning and many people are finding out that there was another shooting that happened here in Minneapolis. I'm sad to report that, and it's also just devastating to see the leadership that we have in Governor Walz. After the shooting, he immediately went and did a social media post, calling our federal agents violent and untrained. And quite frankly, that is absolutely unacceptable of a leader of our state to be talking that way without knowing the facts, without knowing what happened, and rushing to that conclusion which then is inciting violence. There's no way around this. Our Governor Walz and Mayor Frey of Minneapolis are inciting violence. It's also inarguable that people are coming into Minnesota, they're being bussed in from all over the country, and it's like a standoff right now. We're in a pressure cooker here in Minnesota, unfortunately. One that all of the good people of Minnesota never asked for. We don't want to be here, we don't want to be in this state, but it is our leadership that is driving this hostile atmosphere, this violence that is happening. I did a video earlier and I mentioned this isn't happening in other Democrat-held states like Colorado and Michigan. ICE is all over the country. President Trump was elected to help deport some of the criminal aliens that had come across the borders over the Biden administration. And it's my understanding that this is not happening in other states, not other blue states, because those governors are in some form cooperating with the federal officers. Here in Minnesota, we have leadership of Walz and Mayor Frey who are inciting violence. And I want to talk to all the people of Minnesota because this is putting us in a very dangerous situation. We saw what happened in 2020 after the riots. We saw the leadership of Walz that let our Minneapolis burn for days. Complete chaos, fires, people throwing bricks, they're looting buildings. Minnesota, we do not want this again. We do not want this again. So Walz, let me tell you, a leader would come out and say, we had an unfortunate situation today. There was a shooting, and I will withhold all comments until we see the facts. Meanwhile, Minnesota, we love our state, and please hold your judgment until we see the video evidence and are able to determine what happened in that incident. But no, not Walz. Walz came out and literally blamed the federal agents, saying that they were violent and untrained, and that is completely unacceptable. So please, everyone, please, I'm going to just say it again. We have to realize Minnesota here is the epicenter, and there's a reason. They are trying to ignite this violence. It is covering up the fraud, over $9 billion of fraud under Governor Walz. And we need to say no. We have to, if people are participating in this, we have to start calling it out. If someone had a gun and pointed it at federal agents, absolutely, without a doubt, the federal agents have a right to protect themselves. And again, if that's what happened. Okay, so rushing to judgment, demonizing the police, demonizing the law enforcement, inciting this violence, is absolutely unacceptable. We have to call it out if we want to get our state back, if we want to get control of our state again, and have law and order, which most Minnesotans want. So please, whether you're a Democrat, a leader, a pastor, a priest, someone of authority, coaches, please join me and raise your voice in saying that we need to tone down the rhetoric. We need to support our law enforcement, and at the same time, realize that if there's any problems with law enforcement, that we need to hold them accountable. But that's not what's happening here. Right now, we are seeing our leadership of Walz and Frye inciting violence. And please, if there's anything you can do around the state to help call this off, please join me in one unified voice. Thanks everyone. I'm so sorry we're in this position again. God bless. And I want you to know that we are going to get through this, but we really need people to help. And we also need to call it out that we cannot accept Walz using people across Minnesota, inciting this violence, inciting the hate against our law enforcement. We have to call it out for what it is. Let the facts come out and then let justice be served. Thanks everyone. God bless and God bless our state of Minnesota."[Donald Trump for President]
