Walter Hudson, a public commentator and Minnesota state legislator, has recently posted a series of tweets criticizing political responses and media coverage surrounding the Annunciation tragedy. On September 7, 2025, Hudson expressed his concern in a brief statement: "Concerning."

The following day, on September 8, 2025, Hudson elaborated on his views regarding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's handling of the situation. He wrote: "Long-form exploration of Tim Walz's exploitation of the Annunciation tragedy with @JackTomczak and @talkette

Why we know there's no serious intention to accomplish anything with a special session. And why voters need to wake up to the reality of how they're being manipulated."

Later that same day, Hudson criticized media narratives he perceives as biased. He stated: "Making the story about the reaction instead of the story is vile and transparent.

'MAGA noticed...'

'Republicans pounce...'

It's not journalism. It's partisan propaganda."

Hudson's remarks reflect ongoing debates over political communication and media framing in Minnesota politics. The reference to a "special session" alludes to legislative procedures often called by state governors in response to significant events or crises; such sessions have sometimes been criticized for lacking substantive outcomes or being used for political posturing.

As discussions continue regarding both governmental actions and journalistic practices in covering high-profile incidents like the Annunciation tragedy, voices such as Hudson's contribute to broader conversations about transparency, accountability, and public perception.
