Tim Walz said Saturday that his administration would “never leave the side” of Somali residents in Minnesota during remarks at a “No Kings” protest in Minneapolis, according to a report by Mediaite.
Addressing the crowd, Walz described the Somali community as “seen, heard, valued, and loved,” and pledged continued support.
“I will add a special, a special thank you, and a special acknowledgement that we will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans,” Walz said. “Here’s our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans: your great-grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.”
The remarks were delivered as part of a larger demonstration held in Minneapolis, where participants gathered for the “No Kings” protest.
