A social media post by independent journalist Nick Shirley declaring 'I ENDED TIM WALZ' has gone viral, amassing over 7.6 million views after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced today he would not seek re-election and then publicly criticised Shirley as a 'delusional conspiracy theorist'.
The dramatic exchange gained new significance following Walz's shock announcement on 5 January that he would not run for a third term as governor. In a press conference that ended abruptly without taking questions, the embattled governor cited personal reasons for his decision.
