Walz a border crisis denier who supports Minnesota as sanctuary state: Abbott

Published August 7, 2024 8:11am ET



(The Center Square) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blasted Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, calling him “dangerous” and “radical.” He also blasted Walz as a border crisis denier, for opposing border wall funding, and advocating for Minnesota to be a so-called sanctuary state.

“California liberal Kamala Harris’ selection of radical leftist Tim Walz as her running mate” would create “the most radical and dangerous administration in modern history,” Abbott said. “Tim Walz will be a rubberstamp for Kamala Harris’ deadly open border policies, refusing to admit there is a border crisis, opposing border wall funding, and supporting sanctuary cities.”
