Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) spokesperson responded to President Trump’s refusal to call him following the shooting of two Minnesota state lawmakers.
“Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz,” spokesperson Teddy Tschann said in a statement Tuesday. “It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, & the State of Minnesota, and the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal,” he continued.
Walz previously served in the state Legislature with Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (D), and confirmed her death Saturday at a press conference. “Our state lost a great leader, and I lost a dearest friend,” the governor said.
Trump told reporters early Tuesday during his flight back from the Group of Seven summit that he would not be calling Walz.
