A LEAKED audio has revealed Donald Trump’s shock conversation with Tim Walz where the former president praised his current rival.....CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
The shock recording dropped just hours after Republicans bashed the Minnesota governor for his handling of protests in 2020. A Trump offensive against Walz started when the governor was named Harris’s vice presidential nominee.
Republicans have recently criticized Walz for his handling of the protests that sparked in Minneapolis, Minnesota after George Floyd was killed.
This condemnation has been turned on its head after a call between then-President Trump and governors showed a different tone. The June 1 2020 call showed Trump highlighting and praising Governor Walz’s actions during the protests.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, posted a condemnation of Walz on X. “He let cities in his state burn down,” Abbott wrote about the protests.
Trump’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, also issued a scathing attack against Walz this week, according to CBS News.
“Governor Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn for days, despite President Trump’s offer to deploy soldiers and cries for help from the liberal Mayor of Minneapolis,” Leavitt said.
“In this daily briefing phone call with Governors on June 1, days after the riots began, President Trump acknowledged Governor Walz for FINALLY taking action to deploy the National Guard to end the violence in the city...CONTINUE READING>>
