Minnesota governor and failed Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz accused citizen journalist Nick Shirley — who has exposed alleged widespread human services fraud in his state — of being a “delusional conspiracy theorist.”
“My opponents have been celebrating this far-right YouTuber as a ground breaking journalist,” Walz wrote in an X post on Sunday. “Here he reveals who he really is: a delusional conspiracy theorist.”
Below it, Walz reposts Shirley’s response to the governor’s condemnation of a repost over the weekend by President Donald Trump on Truth Social that questioned whether Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman was assassinated after she supported a bill to cut off healthcare to illegal aliens.
In his X post, Walz had blasted the president for his Truth Social repost from @LightOnLiberty.
“Dangerous, depraved behavior from the sitting president of the United States,” Walz wrote. “In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed. America is better than this.”
