Today, Faith & Freedom Coalition Executive Director Timothy Head released the following statement on the Harris campaign tapping Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate:
“In the coming days, the Democratic Party will try to recast Tim Walz as a centrist, ignoring his track record as the most left-wing governor in Minnesota’s history. Walz’s Minnesota has become an oasis for left-wing radicals, pro-abortion Democrats, criminals, and illegal immigrants, while hard-working Americans and faithful Christians have been hung out to dry. As Governor, he enshrined abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, enacted the ‘Trans Refuge’ bill to criminalize therapy for same-sex attracted individuals and promote access to sex-change surgeries and cross-sex hormone treatments for minors, even inviting a 12-year-old ‘transgender’ child to be present at the bill signing. Equally concerning is Walz’s targeting of parochial schools, whose ability to offer free college credits to high school students he ended if they required students to sign a statement of faith. And let’s not forget his weak leadership during the 2020 riots when Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn for three days before calling in the National Guard. Simply put, Tim Walz cannot be counted on to stand up to protect communities when they need it most. He cannot be counted on to protect people of faith. In many ways, his policies and leadership are ruining Minnesota and as Kamala Harris’ Vice President, he would do the same thing to our nation.”
