Tim Walz will soon leave behind the walls of the Minnesota Governor’s mansion. On Monday, he announced that he is dropping out of the 2026 gubernatorial election. It looks like the pressure from the growing Somali fraud scandal is taking its toll on the two-term Democrat governor. Walz is entirely to blame for his current situation, but he sees it differently. In his eyes, he’s the real victim.
Here’s more. (READ)
Tim Walz blames everyone but himself for the massive problems he’s created:
“An organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage of this state’s generosity. And even as we make progress in the fight against the fraudsters, we now see an organized group of political actors seeking to take advantage of a crisis.”
Tim Walz is the true victim in all of this, according to Tim Walz.
Here’s Walz throwing out blame to everyone else but himself. (WATCH)

Voice cracking. He’s in deep trouble.

We hope that’s the sound of panic.
Posters say Walz is continuing the legacy of other Democrats who have had their feet (and jazz hands) held to the fire.

Deflect and accuse. The liberal playbook.

Liberal playbook 101, play the victim and call everyone racist.

Can’t forget the charges of racism. Every Democrat blaming session has to play the ‘race card’ per the DNC’s bylaws.
Walz once proclaimed that the ‘buck stops’ with him. Well, just throw that on the huge heap of lies he’s told us in the past. Commenters said Walz neglected his duties as the state’s top Democrat. He’s fully to blame.
Walz, you were in charge of the state, you either didn’t stop the fraud or you were in on it.

He had his chance to stop it. Instead he chose to aid and abet the fraud for votes and personal gain, even going so far as changing the Minnesota flag to look like the Somali flag.

Seems like a lot of work on his part to just say “I’m passing the buck on this one”.
— Rob Holl (@RobHoll2) January 5, 2026
Sounds like the only bucks he oversaw were the billions going to the Somali fraudsters.
Commenters have some closing thoughts and observations about Walz’s silly blame game.
He should resign, not running again is a cop out.

It’s like listening to a child makes excuses about homework.

Are you sure that’s not a body double? I saw no jazz hands or skipping.

Don’t be too hard on him. It must be embarrassing being so dumb that Somalians can outsmart you.

Walz has got to be the dumbest major party vice presidential candidate in history. That’s what happens when you have to find someone dumber than Kamala Harris. Being dumb doesn’t remove his responsibility for what’s going down in Minnesota, though. He’s earned that blame whether he accepts it or not.
