Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on August 27 and 28, 2025, addressing media coverage and political responses to recent events. In his posts, Hudson criticized both the rhetoric used by others and what he described as failures in journalistic reporting.

On August 27, Hudson stated: "Noticing isn't 'villainizing.' If you don't want your rhetoric noticed, don't spew it."

The following day, he addressed media reporting on an incident involving an individual named Westman. He wrote: "Absolute journalistic negligence. No mention of Westman's trans 'identity' or the manifesto. If you're reading legacy media, you have no idea what's really happening." This tweet highlighted his concerns about omissions in mainstream news coverage regarding key details of the case.

Later on August 28, Hudson commented on reactions to a recent tragedy in Minnesota. He posted: "I'd have preferred to give today's horrific events space for grief and comfort. Unfortunately, Minnesota Democrats wasted no time immediately politicizing the tragedy. So their lies, obfuscation, and deflection need to be refuted."

Hudson's comments reflect ongoing debates about media transparency and political discourse in Minnesota. As a state representative known for vocal positions on public policy issues, Hudson has frequently engaged with both constituents and opponents through social media platforms.
