Governor Tim Walz condemned the violent attack on Minnesota lawmakers, highlighting the need for a return to political decency amidst growing rhetorical hostility. Following the arrest of suspect Vance Boelter, who was charged with the fatal shooting of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and wounding of another senator, Walz emphasized that such violence cannot become normal in politics. He urged Americans to find common ground, connect with each other, and return to compromise, reflecting on Hortman's role in encouraging cooperative dialogue and goodwill among colleagues.
"This cannot be the norm, Walz said at a press conference following the arrest. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences."
"A moment in this country where we watch violence erupt, this cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences."
