Walz says U.S. stolen ‘by fascists and Nazis’

Another unhinged ‘Nazi’ rant by Walz—this time it’s caught on tape.

By Jenna Gloeb – February 26, 2025

Gov. Tim Walz said the country is being stolen “by fascists and Nazis,” according to a recording obtained by Alpha News.

Sen. Nate Wesenberg, R-Little Falls, provided the recording to Alpha News and said the remarks were made during the Minnesota Nurses Association’s (MNA) Day on the Hill Tuesday—an event to spotlight healthcare issues during Minnesota’s 2025 legislative session.

“I see the pundits on TV [saying] ‘what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?’ What’s wrong is our country is being stole by fascists and Nazis,” Walz appears to say, per the recording. (https://youtu.be/2ZeS7OK8IhM)

Walz—who has repeatedly championed unity with a campaign message of “One Minnesota”—said in a text message to supporters Wednesday that he won’t make a bid for the open U.S. Senate seat but is still exploring a possible third term as governor.

“If you’re ready to keep fighting for a future where no one is left behind and nobody gets told they don’t belong, stand with me and send a donation to power our work today,” the text said.

Alpha News reached out to Walz’s office for clarity on his comments but did not receive a response.

Pattern of Nazi-related accusations

Walz’s statement adds to a recent pattern of deploying Nazi-related accusations against his political opponents.

Last month during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Walz claimed Tesla CEO Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, saying, “Of course he did.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UdHdjuodPg)

Musk later threatened legal action against Walz over the remarks.

During his unsuccessful 2024 vice presidential bid alongside Kamala Harris, Walz compared a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally and later refused to take back the remark despite widespread criticism.

Even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League dismissed Musk’s arm extension as an “awkward gesture” rather than a deliberate salute.

[Editor’s note: Bear in mind communist Saul Alinsky’s quote: “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt.” It has been a oft-used tactic throughout Walz’s political career.]
