I dubbed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz “Governor Isuzu” a while back. The blather and lying come so naturally to him. It’s a gift of some kind. He perfected it during his reign as our one-man ruler by emergency decree during the Covid nightmare.
You know Walz is lying when his lips are moving. Walz knows he’s lying. We know he’s lying. He knows that we know he’s lying. He remains the shadow of a man incapable of embarrassment. Walz presents as an example of life imitating art, in this case the advertising art that created Joe Isuzu.
Laotian immigrant Tou Vang had serially raped a 10-year-old girl over a period of two years between 2002 and 2004. Minnesota Democrats on the pardon board (including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison) unanimously voted to pardon Vang in a vain effort to shield him from deportation by the Trump administration. Vang had been under an order of removal entered in 2006 following his conviction. Bill Glahn wrote about the pardon for us here two weeks ago (with more here and here).
Governor Isuzu is in the news with his comments condemning Vang’s deportation (video below): “Did that make us any safer?…Did it improve the idea [sic] that we can’t all be judged by our worst day?”
It’s an utterly stupid rationale to begin with, especially in the context of sexual abuse, but “our worst day” is off by two years. Politically speaking, Walz’s service in office has to represent our worst eight years.
Gov. Tim Walz was asked about the deportation of a convicted child sex abuser he had pardoned. His response:
