Republican Leader Trashes Trump

Former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) broke ranks with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, offering sharp criticism over Trump’s decision not to call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) after two horrifying shooting incidents targeted Democrat lawmakers.

Trump Says Walz Is “Whacked Out” — Declines to Call

When asked about the violent weekend attacks in Minnesota, President Trump didn’t hold back. He called Walz “whacked out” and dismissed the idea of calling him, saying:

“I could be nice and call, but why waste time?”

Trump also described the Democrat governor as a “mess” who “doesn’t have a clue.”

For millions of conservative Americans, Trump’s remarks echo longstanding frustrations with failed Democrat leadership — especially in blue states where crime and chaos have spiraled out of control.

Sununu Urges Empathy After Political Violence

Sununu, however, said Trump’s approach misses the mark during a national tragedy.

“No, it definitely doesn’t help,” Sununu told reporters. “People have lost their lives here. You make the call. You show the empathy.”

Sununu’s comments come after a weekend that shocked Minnesota and the nation:

• Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot in their home by an individual reportedly posing as a law enforcement officer.
• State Senator John Hoffman (D) and his wife were also wounded in a separate but suspiciously timed shooting.

Both attacks appear to target prominent Democrat officials — raising serious questions about rising political violence, mental health breakdowns, and weak law enforcement oversight.

Senator Mike Lee Faces Backlash for Calling Out Marxism

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) also weighed in online, calling the incident “Nightmare on Waltz Street” — a reference to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — and warning that “Marxism is a deadly mental illness.”

Predictably, Democrats and the media reacted with outrage — ignoring the deeper issues of left-wing ideology, failing public safety policies, and growing instability in liberal-run states.

Governor Walz Responds With Call for “Decency”

In a Sunday press conference, Gov. Walz condemned the violence and made an emotional plea for “decency” — pointing to Hortman’s bipartisan work as a model of political cooperation.

“It’s not about hatred. It’s not about mean tweets. It’s about grace, compassion, and decency,” Walz said.

But many conservatives remain skeptical. Calls for “decency” often come from the same politicians who weaponize government power, censor free speech, and turn a blind eye to rising crime.

Leadership in a Time of Crisis

While Sununu’s appeal for empathy may resonate with some moderates, many Americans are looking for bold leadership, law-and-order solutions, and a return to common-sense values — the kind that President Trump championed in the White House.

This tragedy also highlights a broader national concern: Is Democrat leadership failing to protect its own citizens?

With election season fast approaching, these moments remind voters why leadership, security, and truth still matter.
