Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on September 11, 2025, discussing perceived differences in public reactions to political violence and the role of institutions in shaping these responses.

In his first post at 17:13 UTC, Hudson shared an article link without further commentary: "Article https://t.co/83xr3XShi5".

At 17:22 UTC, Hudson contrasted the behavior of political groups regarding acts of violence. He wrote: "The incredibly obvious diffence between the 'sides' is that you don't see elected Republicans and notable conservative commentators celebrating or excusing political assassinations. By contrast, we've seen dozens of examples of that from the Left in less than 24 hrs. https://t.co/JQNwjui7jm".

Later that day at 17:39 UTC, Hudson commented on why certain individuals might feel emboldened to make public statements he characterizes as hateful. He stated: "Put some thought into how someone in a position like this feels safe and confident making public statements like this. ... It's because they have no reason to suspect consequence, because our institutions sanction such hatred. Tell me again about 'systemic injustice.' https://t.co/Koo1Opq82P".

Walter Hudson serves as a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives and has been known for his active presence on social media platforms where he frequently comments on current events and issues related to political discourse.
