(ST. PAUL, MN) –  Senate Majority Leader released the following statement on the complete failure of leadership from Governor Tim Walz:

“Yesterday, the Governor failed the state of Minnesota, again. They knew there was a threat to the Christopher Columbus statue, and he failed to adequately protect public property. The mob mentality to do whatever people want without repercussion has got to stop. The Governor didn’t protect the Third Precinct, he didn’t protect businesses on Lake Street, and the Lieutenant Governor condoned the destruction on public property.  

This is another example of complete failure of leadership from Walz and his administration that has led the state into chaos.
