Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed strong condemnation towards former President Donald Trump's recent violent remarks directed at former Rep. Liz Cheney. In a radio interview, Walz described Trump's comments as 'sickening but not surprising' and emphasized the need to keep Trump away from the Oval Office.

Trump had suggested that Cheney, who has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, should face gunfire, labeling her as a 'radical war hawk.' Walz criticized Trump's behavior as unacceptable and un-American, particularly referencing a derogatory remark made towards Puerto Rico during a recent rally.

Walz highlighted the importance of voting for Harris as a means to counteract Trump's divisive rhetoric and promote a more inclusive and respectful political discourse. He urged listeners to take action through voting and emphasized the need to move forward with a new vision for America.
