YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump said that calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after a political assassination sent shockwaves through the state would be a "waste of time."

Early Saturday, a masked gunman disguised as a police officer shot and killed Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman, a former speaker of the state House, and her husband Mark, and wounded a state senator and his wife.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him," Trump said. "I could be nice and call, but why waste time?"

In response, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's team said the governor "wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans."
