At a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, former President Donald Trump reflected on the chaos that engulfed Minneapolis four years ago, highlighting his intervention and criticizing local leadership for their lack of action.
Trump took aim at the governor for failing to call in necessary forces to quell the violence and accused Vice President Kamala Harris of supporting the rioters.

Trump recounted the events of 2020, stating, “Anarchists and looters and Marxists came to burn down Minneapolis four years ago. Remember me. I couldn’t get your governor to act. He’s supposed to call in the National Guard or the army, and he didn’t do it.”
Emphasizing his own decisive action, Trump continued, “I couldn’t get your governor, so I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis.”
He didn’t hold back on his criticism of Kamala Harris, accusing her of supporting the rioters. “Kamala Harris sided with the arsonists and rioters and raised money to bail out the criminals, bail them all out of jail,” Trump stated, reinforcing his position on law and order.
Innocent people have been, and will continue to pay, the price for Kamala’s radical policies for a long time. https://t.co/zy8C8308ox [3]
