Former President Trump praised Governor Walz's handling of the aftermath of the violence in Minneapolis following George Floyd's murder, stating, 'What they did in Minneapolis was incredible. They went in and dominated, and it happened immediately.' This occurred during a phone call on June 1, 2020, where other officials like Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Attorney General William Barr were present.
As Governor Walz is now Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate against Trump and JD Vance, the significance of the phone call where Trump supported Walz's actions during the unrest in Minneapolis has heightened. The call's transcript was previously posted by CNN in 2020.
Protests erupted worldwide after George Floyd's murder, leading to a reckoning with police brutality and racism. Walz deployed the Minnesota National Guard three days after the incident to address and control the chaos in Minneapolis.
