Walter Hudson (R) is really a POS
Saw a clip where he “berated” Alex Pretti for “interfering with the work of ICE by brandishing a gun.”

In the most recent MN state election, your wretched, miserable party lost by a 94-6 margin.
Few things are as satisfying to type as that!

So he's STILL blathering about Pretti brandishing a gun? Ugh
ETA - most Repukes probably consider his mother to be a "race traitor". But that's the party he chooses.
His degree is from the University of Phoenix which explains a lot.

Walter Hudson is an American politician serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives since 2023. A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, Hudson represents District 30A in the northwestern Twin Cities metropolitan area, which includes the cities of St. Michael, Otsego, and Albertville, and parts of Hennepin and Wright Counties.[1][2]

After ICE officers killed Alex Pretti, Hudson tweeted: "And then he brandished a gun while impeding federal law enforcement. A good story can always end poorly with stupid choices." Journalist A. J. Lagoe replied: "Sir, please point me to a single piece of video where he brandishes a gun." Hudson responded: "We don't require a video. We have an official statement from DHS which has not been disproven." Local media reports and gun rights advocates such as the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus clarified that videos of the shooting showed that Pretti was holding a phone to record ICE agents and did not brandish a gun.[30]
