Walz Attends George Floyd Funeral, Forbids Funerals For Others
Jennifer Janisch is still grieving over the March 2020 death of her son. Sixteen-year-old Tony was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike near his home in Blaine, Minnesota. “The morning my son died, Governor Walz had come on the TV and we found out that the schools and salons were going to be shut down,” Jansich said. The family was forbidden from holding a funeral for their son.
GOVERNOR WALZ: RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME
When Ms. Janisch saw Walz attending Floyd’s 500-person memorial service that June, she was angry. “The front page of a section in the Star Tribune had the photo that I have on my Facebook post of Walz in this crowd,” she said. “I was furious and emailed his office a letter and let them know how terrible that was.”
“The arrogance to do that in public and let it be photographed was mind blowing to me,” she added.
The George Floyd’s memorial service was held in June of 2020, when many of Walz’s COVID emergency orders were in effect, including one that governed the use of churches, singing, religious gatherings, and funerals. After cheering on the BLM riots, Governor Walz attended the career criminal’s funeral to signal to the thugs: “I am one of you!”
Walz’s order that was violated by every person who attended Floyd’s memorial service stated that no more than 250 people could be in attendance. According to the Pioneer Press, over 500 people attended the funeral. We can only assume that most of the attendees never met the deceased and only came to the funeral to make a political statement. That is: “Look how woke I am! I support Leftist violence!” Walz’s order also stated that there should not be congregational singing, but that was also ignored by those at Floyd’s service. Now that Tim Walz is running for vice president, this order has been removed from the state’s website.
Ms. Janisch explained that no one but family members were allowed at the funeral home. They had to hold the funeral immediately due to impending additional restrictions that Walz was putting in place the following Friday.
“His girlfriend, his friends, didn’t have the chance to say goodbye,” Janisch said. “Very quickly you realize how important a tradition that is when you can’t have one [a funeral].”
The grieving mother said that months after her son’s death they were able to hold a memorial service. “When the churches were allowed to reopen in June with the 250-person limit, we held a memorial on July 18, 2020,” she said. “We had to get RSVPs so we didn’t go over capacity, but we couldn’t have a luncheon at the church, so we ended up having it in our backyard, almost grad-party style.”
Were RSVPs required for Saint George’s memorial service? Not likely.
LIVING BEHIND ENEMY LINES, TALE #4
This is the fourth tale in a series about what it is like for sane Americans to live in cities & states run by insane politicians & voters. Sam has watched the insanity up close for decades:
Harris/Walz: Continuing Biden/Harris America Last Agenda
Kamala Harris bowed to the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party and rejected Josh Shapiro as her running mate because he is Jewish. Her love of Islamic terrorists is just one of the reasons she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. A Minnesota resident’s words say it more succinctly than I could:
Let’s keep him busy attending more funerals. George Floyd needs more company in hell
Tim Walz represents everything evil about the modern-day Democrat socialist party. He's a despicable huckster and charlatan who's willing to say and do whatever is necessary to get elected. With the Biden-Harris administration, we thought the Office of the Presidency had fallen to the lowest common denominator. Wrong. The Kamala Harris-Tim Walz duo is worse. Both are empty-headed puppets who'll be manipulated by the destructive Barrack Hussein Obama Shadow Government.
