MOMENT GOP Congress Man Eli Crane TOTALLY DESTROY Democrat Governor Tim Walz Using His Own Words

💥 The Rhetoric vs. Reality: Governor Walz’s Congressional Roasting

The recent congressional hearing was a masterclass in political confrontation, featuring GOP Congressman Eli Crane absolutely torching Democrat Governor Tim Walz on a variety of issues, ranging from immigration policy to incendiary rhetoric. Crane didn’t just ask questions; he delivered an execution via the Governor’s own words, showcasing a perceived disconnect between Walz’s statements and the hard realities of his state’s policies.

🤥 The Immigration Inconsistencies: “Why Are You Lying?”

The exchange began with a direct challenge to the Governor’s opening statement, where Walz claimed that “nothing Minnesota has done stands in the way of federal government managing its border security policy.” Crane immediately called him out, asking, “Why are you lying to this committee?”

The core of Crane’s attack was the public stance of Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, the state’s top law enforcement official. Crane submitted an article stating that AG Ellison “will not enforce federal immigration laws,” even as the DOJ threatens prosecution for officials who resist. Walz’s defense—claiming state law requires officials to ask for immigration status of convicted felons—was swiftly dismissed by Crane as a misrepresentation, insisting that the AG’s public defiance stands as a clear contradiction to the Governor’s assurance of non-interference.

Crane then moved to the argument that Minnesota’s policies actively create a border magnet, citing a list of state benefits: free healthcare, food assistance, free college tuition, driver’s licenses, and cash assistance. In Crane’s judgment, these policies are not “helping” border security but are rather creating an irresistible incentive, effectively making Minnesota a “sanctuary state” in practice, regardless of official designation.

🤬 The Toxic Messaging: ICE and the “Gustapo”

The scrutiny intensified as Crane addressed the Governor’s rhetoric, particularly Walz’s past characterization of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents.

Crane grilled Walz on his decision to call federal law enforcement agents “modern-day Gustapo,” a deeply offensive historical parallel. Crane challenged the Governor directly: “You think that calling them Gustapo is helping?” Walz attempted to pivot to a defense of “due process” and “best practice in law enforcement,” but Crane hammered the point that such inflammatory language from a state executive actively hurts the federal government’s ability to carry out its mandated enforcement.

Further damaging the Governor’s credibility was an unverified quote where Walz allegedly told Anderson Cooper, regarding the border wall, “If it’s 25 ft, then I’ll invest in a 30-foot ladder factory.” Walz claimed not to remember the comment, which Crane seized upon as evidence of “so many outlandish things that you can’t even keep track of them.”

🔨 The Radical Agenda and Electoral Damage

Crane saved his most powerful and judgmental rebuke for the end, focusing on what he labeled Walz’s “radical left-wing agenda.” He dismissed Walz’s previous podcast boast that he scares MAGA voters “because they know I can fix a truck” and could “kick most of their asses,” countering that the fear stems purely from his policies.

Crane’s list of “radical” policies included:

Supporting tampons in boys’ bathrooms.

Advocating for disarming Americans of their Second Amendment rights.

Being pro-sanctuary city.

Claiming there is “no guarantee to free speech” when it comes to misinformation and hate speech—a view Crane acidly suggested Walz may have picked up during one of his alleged trips to “communist China.”

Finally, Crane weaponized Walz’s political aspirations against him, referencing a quote where Walz allegedly said Kamala Harris picked him for Vice President to “code talk to white guys.” Crane closed the interrogation with a decisive blow, stating Walz “lost by 22 points to white guys” and promising: “If you want to continue that rhetoric, go on, brother. Keep doing it. We’ll keep destroying you in election.“

The entire spectacle, as the transcript concludes, was a decisive, one-sided clash where Congressman Crane used facts, undeniable quotes, and logic to demonstrate, in his judgment, the severe consequences of Governor Walz’s radical ideology and inflammatory rhetoric.
