SR 17 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Senate resolution expressing the sense of the Senate condemning Governor Tim Walz's recent comments to the Minnesota Nursing Association

This Senate resolution expresses the chamber's disapproval of comments made by Governor Tim Walz to the Minnesota Nursing Association. The measure specifically targets remarks where the Governor described political opponents as fascists and Nazis, arguing that such language trivializes the historical atrocities of the Holocaust and damages public trust in elections. While Senate resolutions generally do not carry the force of law, this document formally condemns the Governor's speech and requests that he apologize to the Jewish community and the public for using divisive rhetoric. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the document to Governor Walz as an official communication from the legislative body.
