  My guess is his personal vendetta against Walz.

  Racism against Somalis plus he hates Walz for running against him

    I read an opinion piece that suggested that he is upset that Minnesota is the only blue state in a region of red. Given that Minnesota is primarily white, he felt that he could use the Somali fraud as a way to turn [white] people against the democrats using xenophobia.

  Aside from revenge against Walz… one theory is that we’re a functioning community that’s ethnically diverse, relatively progressive, union strong, and very friendly to queer folks. Fox News would have you believe that any one of those features creates a godless hellscape, but we’re doing pretty good. Minnesota grew a huge budget surplus under Walz, and then we invested it in schools and social programs. The Republican tradition is to destroy something (see: the federal government) and say, “See? Told you it was broken!”

  Personal grudge against Waltz, for running against him amongst other grudges

  That’s what citizens pay for now in Trump’s USA. With their lives. Petty grievances of an Alzheimer patient.

  Among other reasons you’ve been given:

  • The figured MN folks would be peaceable and lay down.
  • No open carry of weapons.
  • Didn’t think they’d show out in deep winter. (HAH!)
