My daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting. It’s absolutely abhorrent that Tim Walz has befriended school shooters. Disqualifying. https://t.co/Q0tkhmHFAi

In response to Walz’s statement, Trump stated, “Second time he has said, ‘I’ve been friends with school shooters.’ What does he mean by this? Is he insane?”

🚨RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST ASKED IF TIM WALZ IS "INSANE" FOR SAYING HE'S FRIENDS WITH SCHOOL SHOOTERS!

"Second time he has said, 'I’ve been friends with school shooters.' What does he mean by this? Is he insane?"

Per The New York Post:

Tim Walz apparently fumbled a response about school shootings, saying he’s become “friends” with the shooters.

The moderators asked Walz how he changed his mind about banning “assault weapons” over his career.

Vance, Walz VP debate live updates: Walz says he’s become ‘friends with school shooters,’ says he got ‘caught up in rhetoric’ over false Tiananmen Square claims — ‘Knucklehead’
“I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. I became friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it,” Walz said.

He also said he used to have his gun in the back of his car so he could go “pheasant hunting” after “football practice.”

Walz said if America wants to stop school shootings, we should look to Finland.

“They don’t have this happen,” the Minnesota governor said. “Even though they have a high gun-ownership rate in the country, there are reasonable things that we can do to make a difference.”

Walz suggested the federal government had a role in taking away “some of these weapons out there” — but didn’t specify which.
