Walz’s False Freedom
Story by The Editors • 21h •
In accepting the Democratic vice-presidential nomination, Minnesota governor Tim Walz tried to present himself as a sort of Mister Rogers type whom everybody should want as their neighbor. But in the weeks ahead, that image will have to contend against a record that includes a history of fabrication and radicalism.
In his speech, Walz tried to portray Democrats as a laissez-faire party. He claimed that in Minnesota, “We respect our neighbors, and the personal choices they make, and even if we wouldn’t make those same choices for ourselves, we’ve got a golden rule: ‘Mind your own damn business!’”
But as governor, he imposed among the most draconian Covid restrictions in the nation and even set up a hotline for residents to rat out neighbors who weren’t following his social-distancing rules.
In Walz’s twisted moral universe, “Mind your own damn business!” isn’t actually about letting neighbors make their own choices, it is a justification for the unfettered ability to kill unborn babies.
