Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, did not mind his “own damn business” during the coronavirus era — a great irony given that Walz has tried to associate himself with freedom itself by repeating the line “mind your own damn business” on the campaign trail.
That, however, was not the reality at all during the coronavirus era. During that time, Walz required coronavirus vaccinations, forcing all state agency employers and employees working in-person to show proof of their vaccination status. “We did a stay at home order. … We closed down personal care providers, getting your haircut … Social gatherings with other households. Don’t bring other households in,” Walz bragged at the time, making a series of demands, clearly not, in his own recent words, minding his “own damn business.”“We’re going to stop in-person, dining. … Fitness centers and adult and youth sports. … Places like bowling alleys and bingo halls and theaters will need to take a pause.
It should also be noted that Walz ran a hotline in 2020 for citizens to report on their fellow Minnesotan neighbors who may have violated his lockdown orders. It serves as another great example of his hypocrisy, as Walz has repeatedly stated on the campaign trail that “we respect our neighbors’ rights to make their own personal choices.
