Tim Walz, Minnesota's governor, expressed regret for encouraging Democrats to retaliate against Trump, stating that he brings out the worst in people, including himself. This statement followed the tragic assassination of former Minnesota state house speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, which occurred shortly after Walz's remarks. Investigators revealed Trump had also been a target of assassination attempts. Walz criticized Trump's reaction to the Hortman shootings, claiming he ignored their deaths. Walz emphasized his anger stemmed from Trump's aggressive political style and his multifaceted impact on political discourse.
Donald Trump brings out the worst in people, and he brings out the worst in me, because I have certainly never been accused of that with anybody else.
We have to be a little meaner, a little more fierce to Trump, and bully the shit out of him back as we try to regroup.
My anger with Trump stems from his pugnacious brand of politics and ignoring the Hortmans in the wake of their killings.
The assassin's attacks on Hortman and her husband were devastating, occurring shortly after my public remarks about Trump’s behavior.
