During a hilarious can't-miss interview on Fox’ Gutfeld!, Donald Trump revealed that Minnesota Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz once tried to reach out to him for help.
Trump said during the summer of 2020 George Floyd riots he got a panicked phone call from Walz because “MAGA people” had surrounded his house. Given all we know about the 2020 riots, it's extremely unlikely it was right-wingers outside Walz's home.
“He’s a strange guy,” Trump said, recalling the incident. "You know, he called up years ago. I was in the White House, and he said, ‘My house is being surrounded by people with American flags.”
“I said, ‘Is that a good thing or a bad thing? He said, ‘I think they’re going to attack me,’” Trump continued as he explained that “this was during the riots and everything.” The ex-prez went on, “They were MAGA people. You know, they like the American flag.” Trump added that Walz requested then-president Trump issue a statement about his apparent friendship with him.
“Walz said, ‘Could you put out a word, like, that, I am your friend?’ I don't even know him. That's the only time I ever spoke to him. And if you look back long ago I put out a statement reading, "He's a good man and a governor, he's on our side.” Trump reiterated he “didn’t know him” and only put out the statement to basically be polite.
