Our Latest Op-Ed: I watched as Gov. Tim Walz let my home state of Minnesota burn

 

If you want to get a sense of what life would be like under Vice President Tim Walz, you don’t have to look too far. In the summer of 2020, Students for Life Action’s (SFLAction) Government Affairs Coordinator Savanna Deretich was living in Minneapolis and bore witness to the carnage and destruction that followed under Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’ (failed) leadership.  

In Fox News, she penned an op-ed laying out not just how Walz’ tenure as Governor of Minnesota was destructive for the preborn, but for thousands upon thousands of everyday citizens in her home state.

“What once used to beone of the safest and most beautiful cities in the U.S. saw entire city blocks turned into a fiery ash heap, forcing my friends to flee for their lives due to shootings, riots, violence, left-wing activists blocking major highways, and mobs right on their doorsteps. 

Gunshots flew through the windows of homes, killing innocent bystanders, sending gas stations and grocery stores into flames, and allowing rioters and looters to loot at their leisure. My once artistic and financially booming city became unrecognizable. 

And Walz allowed it to happen. He even had the audacity to lecture Minnesotans that they were the indecent ones.  

We should not put property above people…” he declared as rioters burnt down businesses and killed or injured innocent people. And it would have continued if former President Trump hadn’t threatened to send troops.  

Sadly, the long-standing chaos had already left its mark. Our quiet, safe and protected Asguard on earth became Gotham on steroids. Now, no man or woman dares walk alone, even in the daylight.”
