The original was such a hit that Democrats are demanding a sequel. The Minneapolis Star Tribune breathlessly reports,
Walz, other Minnesota agencies weigh in on rumors Trump will pardon Derek Chauvin.
As the fifth anniversary of the death of George Floyd nears, the governor and other public officials are bracing for possibility the president will undo federal convictions.
You read that correctly. Chauvin was convicted in state court (based on questionable testimony). The Feds piled on with convictions for civil rights violations and tax evasion, to boot. He in currently being held in a Federal facility.
A “possibility.” Based on what? The Star Tribune quotes a Minneapolis police spokesman,
To be clear, we have no credible intelligence about any pardon or planned disruptions here in Minneapolis.
Four (4) reporters contributed to the Star Tribune piece, which contains zero (0) news content. The body of the article runs almost 1,100 words. That’s 1,100 words to say exactly nothing.
So, who is stirring the pot?
Responding to questions from reporters this week, Gov. Tim Walz said the White House has given him no indication that a federal pardon for Chauvin is imminent.
Gov. Walz channels his inner Inspector Kemp from Young Frankenstein (1974), “A riot is an ugly thing, and I think that it is just about time we had one.” Democrats are convinced, despite all available evidence to the contrary, that the George Floyd riots were crucial to defeating Trump in 2020. With 2025 being an election year in Minneapolis, and Trump back in office, they are desperate to trigger another round. Anything to distract the voting public from the colossal political failures in Minnesota at every level.
You will hear of riots and rumors of riots but see to it that you are not alarmed.
