House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) released the following statement regarding the unrest in Minneapolis and ongoing violence against federal law enforcement in the state.

Whip Emmer: “The scenes of destruction and damage taking place in Minneapolis are abhorrent. This violence cannot be tolerated. Unfortunately, our state leaders’ inaction and support of these violent riots are failing every Minnesotan and putting law enforcement’s lives at risk. It’s past time for Governor Tim Walz to take accountability for his sanctuary state policies that got us here in the first place and lower the temperature. But last night’s embarrassing and inflammatory speech once again proved he is incapable of leading. Tim Walz should resign, effective immediately. The safety of Minnesotans depends on it.”
