In a passionate speech, Rep. Tiffany sharply criticized Governor Tim Walz for his inaction during the George Floyd riots, describing it as the most painful time in Minnesota’s recent history. Tiffany, a fifth-generation Minnesotan, recounted how Walz had the authority to call in the National Guard but chose not to act for three crucial days. As Minneapolis burned and other cities experienced widespread violence, the governor’s inaction led to devastating consequences that Minnesotans will be dealing with for decades. Tiffany called Walz’s lack of leadership an “absolute disgrace” and held him fully responsible for the destruction and chaos that ensued.
