His opponents flooded social media with images of burning buildings in the state’s largest city of Minneapolis in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Now, a city that’s long been overshadowed by more bustling neighbors to the east including Chicago, is under scrutiny for its struggles to overcome the lingering effects of the pandemic and upheaval from riots and crime — challenges that overshadow Minnesota’s otherwise strong economic performance under Walz.

Minneapolis’s population remains stuck below pre-Covid levels — while downtown vacancy rates have surged to 24.7%, the highest since the late 1980s, data from real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield shows. Target Corp., one of the city’s largest employers, only requires staff to be in the office one week every quarter. Not even government workers are fully back, hindering the downtown’s recovery.

    Being in a war zone is different than being in a battle... everyone overseas carries a weapon
  • @rainsnooter
    Bro was a journalist in Iraq 😂😂😂😂
  • @tomwalker779
    What a load of horse shit, he retired after 24 years. He did NOT abandon his post.
  • Vance served in the Marine Corps for four years, although he never saw combat. He served as a combat correspondent in Iraq between August 2005 and February 2006.

    Shouldn't you be kissing someone's bone spurs?
  • @paulahello7435
    Do you remember when Vance referred to trump as Hitler? He said he was a never Trumper and couldn't stand him. Lmao

  • @ltaylor9878
    And Trump spent how many days in the Military??? Oh that’s right 0. Vance is weak as hell.
  • @tmatt1999
    I thought Vance was a grunt like me.
  • @juliadixon6252
    He abandoned his unit? Or was it just that his time of service was up? Stop saying things when you've probably never been in that kind of situation. You were just a youngster when all this happened. Besides, your fearless leader pled bone spurs at least four times just to avoid the draft. Walz didn't have a rich daddy to keep him at home. He served with honor and pride like millions of other men and women who cared about keeping our country safe. Put up or shut up!
