“Walz's pandemic response was a complete and utter failure,” Rep. Tom Emmer told The NY Post, which reported that in 2020, Gov. Tim Walz “even set up a hotline through which law enforcement received more than 10,000 emails from residents snitching on neighbors ignoring lockdown measures.” Former police officer Brandon Tatum reviews the potential Vice President's record on defending Constitutional rights and medical freedom – and the alarming overreach of his emergency powers during the pandemic.

Over 95% of our interaction with people requires the highest possible communications skills. That's what you're there for. You're there to communicate and find out what they're scared of, what they need, what their wants are, what their likes are, how you can help them. But without being able to communicate, how do you connect with people? This is foundational to our occupation.”
