Tim Walz: ‘While Trump Was Out Golfing, He Threw The Country Into Crisis’
HuffPost
Before a judge issued a temporary restraining order to stop the freeze on federal funding, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz denounced Donald Trump.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) ripped into President Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze on Tuesday, calling it “stupid, buffoonish and childish.”
“Donald Trump’s reckless action cut off funding to law enforcement, farmers, child care and veterans’ health care,” Walz said Tuesday at a news conference. “While he was out golfing, he threw the country into crisis.”
On Tuesday evening, District Judge Loren AliKhan issued a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump-ordered freeze on all federal grants and loans from going into effect. But before that, Walz, who ran as Kamala Harris’ running mate on the Democratic ticket against Trump last year, said at a news conference that the president has “no idea the implications” of the freeze and said it’s right out of Project 2025 to “undermine” the U.S.
“It will not stand; it cannot stand,” Walz said.
Walz also said Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) had told him that he supports the freeze.
