'They No Longer Hide the Idea of White Supremacy': Tim Walz Fumes Over JD Vance's Latest Comments on Race

Dec 23rd, 2025, 4:28 pm


Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is livid at Vice President JD Vance for saying white Americans don’t need to apologize for their skin color anymore, with Walz saying it was a clear sign President Donald Trump’s administration is fine with white supremacy.

Walz made the comment while defending himself over reports of $9 billion in Minnesota fraud claims at a press conference on Tuesday. The liberal governor said the Trump Administration “was waging war” against his state and the Somalis who live there because it is racist.

“This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit; this is what happens when they scapegoat, and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy,” Walz said. He continued, “When you hear the vice president of the United States talk about ‘Now white people won’t have to apologize for being white.’ That’s never once happened in my whole damn life.”

Walz’s remarks come two days after Vance told the crowd at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest that one of the Trump Administration’s big wins has been relegating DEI to the “dustbin of history.”

would be to determine that, since no one is actually white (not even albinos), all thise formerly considered "white" will now be considered "pink."

Yes, it's really more of a pinkish beige,, but that doesn't have the desired psychological effect.

And while we're discussing words, could we start a campaign to remind everyone that the word "alcohol" is derived from Arabic?

Even simpler than that - remind people about us using "Arabic numerals" (which came out of India) because we sure as hell aren't doing math with "Roman numerals".

They are determined to make us, a majority of the residents here, completely miserable. Every kind of miserable. Depriving us of food, healthcare and emotional security. They think that is their mission.

Gee whiz, JD!!

Why didn't he just come out and say "We White people will oppose diversity, equity, and inclusion at every turn! This is OUR country, not yours! Immigrants, non-whites, the Disabled, LGBTQ+, and women, are NOT WELCOMED!"

But no! JD had to go through the backdoor to announce his prejudices. Usha Vance has a decision to make I am afraid. Talk about an abusive relationship here.

The apologies must come from those who are unwilling to accept that fact and truth of life. The apologies must come from people who espouse the errant attitude that one skin color, gender, etc is better than another. The apologies must come from those who continue to promote this belligerent lie.
