Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, shared several comments on his X (formerly Twitter) account on September 17, 2025, addressing issues related to public discourse and legislative oversight.

In a post published at 03:51 UTC, Hudson responded to online criticism directed at Melissa Hortman by questioning the relevance of such commentary. He wrote, "Sure. It's abhorrent and untrue. ... Also... Who the hell is this person? Why should we care what they think? Finding some rando who says something stupid about Hortman is dwarfed by the many statements about Kirk from congresspeople, legislators, professors, teachers, etc." This comment appears to draw a distinction between isolated social media remarks and more substantial criticisms made by public officials and academics.

Later that day at 17:13 UTC, Hudson commented on a legislative hearing regarding fraud prevention measures. He posted, '"We need a lot more of your money in order to stop people from fraudulently taking your money." Today's Fraud Committee hearing, paraphrased.' The statement reflects skepticism toward calls for increased funding as a solution to fraud.

At 19:10 UTC on the same day, Hudson offered another perspective on policy challenges related to enforcement and compliance. He stated simply, "The problem ain't the laws. It's the endorsement."

Walter Hudson serves as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for District 30A. His posts frequently address legislative processes and political debate within Minnesota state government.
