Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of statements on his X (formerly Twitter) account on September 15, 2025. The tweets addressed security concerns and political views related to recent threats made against Republican lawmakers.

In a post at 18:44 UTC, Hudson wrote, "I continue to be mesmerized by the fact that it's remotely controversial to imprison people who say they want me dead."

Later that evening at 20:19 UTC, Hudson provided further details about his absence from an event he had planned to attend with his family. He stated, "Yes. I was absent, despite my declared intent to attend with my family. The reason was because I was contacted by a member of the capitol security team who advised me there was someone who had declared their intent to shoot Republicans. That person was lobbyist Johnathan Bohn."

At 20:26 UTC the same day, Hudson commented on the importance of electoral choices for public safety. He wrote, "Voting for competent government is literally a matter of life and death. Nowadays, that means voting Republican. And there's no objective argument to the contrary. Here are the receipts."

Hudson serves as a state legislator in Minnesota and has been active in discussing issues related to public safety and political polarization in recent years.
