Flashback 2017: Tim Walz calls rural, conservative Red Minnesota, "rocks and cows."


In a video posted online by Youtube user “DemGovsClips,” [fomer U.S. Congressional Representative (D-MN), now current governor of Minnesota Tim] Walz can be heard describing an election map of Minnesota. Walz references “all that red across there,” presumably referring to outstate Minnesota, calling the Republican-leaning area “mostly rocks and cows.”

You see those maps,” Walz can be heard saying in the video. “Red and blue and there’s all that red across there. And Democrats go into a depression over it. It’s mostly rocks and cows that are in that red area.”

Walz’s comments received quick condemnation from some Republicans. Fellow gubernatorial candidate and State Rep. Matt Dean (R-Dellwood) challenged Walz to “get out of D.C. and visit a dairy farm.”
This, from the same guy who says, "his heart breaks for people."  Presumably - ideally one would hope - his heart breaks for all people, Blue and Red people, but maybe not.

Walz is from Nebraska. Nebraska has a lot of rocks and cows, doesn't it?
