# Noem Torches Walz and Frey: Dem Leaders ‘Inflamed the Public’ and Fueled Anti-Trump Riots
In a fiery Sunday appearance on CNN’s *State of the Union*, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t hold back, directly blaming Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for stoking the flames of public rage amid the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation crackdown. Noem accused the duo of inflaming the public and effectively encouraging violence, pointing to their past handling—or mishandling—of the 2020 George Floyd riots as a blueprint for disaster. Remember, Walz’s delayed National Guard deployment allowed Minneapolis to burn for days, with over 1,500 buildings torched, $500 million in damages, and Frey infamously letting the Third Precinct police station fall to looters like it was a piñata at a Antifa block party. Now, as tensions boil over ICE raids targeting criminal illegals, Noem’s calling out their predictable playbook: rhetoric that paints enforcement as racist while sanctuary city policies invite chaos.
This isn’t just political theater—it’s a masterclass in how Democrat leadership turns law and order into a tinderbox, with direct implications for the 2A community. Walz and Frey’s 2020 failures weren’t accidents; they were choices that left armed citizens like the brave Kyle Rittenhouse to fill the void when police were ordered to stand down. Fast-forward to today: as deportation ops ramp up, expect the same playbook—protests morphing into riots, calls to defund ICE, and blue-city mayors tying law enforcement’s hands. For gun owners, this screams vigilance: heightened unrest means more self-defense scenarios, justifying every round in your mag and AR in the safe. Noem’s spotlight on their hypocrisy bolsters the pro-2A case that when government abdicates, the right to keep and bear arms isn’t optional—it’s survival. Trump’s team gets it; Walz and Frey? They’re still auditioning for the arson squad.
The bigger picture? This feud underscores 2024’s fault lines: red-state resolve versus blue-city surrender. With midterms looming, Noem’s salvo rallies 2A patriots to push back against soft-on-crime Dems who inflame mobs while disarming law-abiding Americans. Stock up, stay frosty, and keep voting for leaders who back the badge *and* the Second Amendment—because next time the riots hit your street, Walz won’t send help, but your firearm will.
