Former Minneapolis bar owner whose bar burned during the George Floyd riots says Walz should apologize to the community

Tim Walz as a “criminal” who let the city descend into a lawless hellscape by refusing to immediately call in the National Guard. “It’s just complete neglect of the people you are supposed to represent,” the 74-year-old father of six said of Walz’s actions at the time. Former Minneapolis bar owner Bill Hupp called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “inept” for his lack of leadership during the 2020 riots in the city.“He could have called in he didn’t,” Hupp added.

The rioters began throwing frozen water bottles and shoes at them, while refusing to let the group leave, and calling them “white privilege.” “We thought they were going to kill us. They pretty much kidnapped us,” he said, adding, “We didn’t know if we were going to get out of there.” of May 29, 2020, the 92-year-old venue erupted in flames after an arsonist and his two accomplices chucked Molotov cocktails at the back of the building. “It completely burned my place exactly to the ground.

Hupp, who demanded an apology from Walz for the community, called Harris’ decision to pick him as her Vice Presidential candidate “absolute insanity,” and decried the state’s governor as “a criminal.”
