Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted several statements on his social media account on September 18, 2025, addressing law enforcement and political discourse. In these posts, Hudson commented on public safety in Hennepin County and discussed the dynamics of political rhetoric and accountability.

In a post published at 22:34 UTC, Hudson wrote: "On 'turning down the temperature,' let's acknowledge some truth.

It's not reduced through rhetoric.

It's reduced by removing those who would initiate violence against those with whom they disagree from society.

See. What you do is. You take the pot off the flame."

Later that evening at 22:59 UTC, he addressed law enforcement practices in Hennepin County: "So much going on that I almost forgot this one.

This is who is protecting you in Hennepin County.

She's literally saying she's just not going to enforce the law.

Walz says we need gun control.

But under this, those laws won't be enforced.

So... what's the point? https://t.co/8QTjV6JOwb"

At 23:04 UTC, Hudson commented on what he perceives as differences between left- and right-wing "cancel culture": "I reject the premise of the question.

The Left cancels the Right for saying true, virtuous things.

The Right cancels the Left for saying unhinged heinous things.

You might as well sit down a mugger and their victim and ask, 'Do you both regret how you contributed to this?' https://t.co/zprmWZhrkH"

Walter Hudson serves as a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for District 30A. His comments regarding Hennepin County reference ongoing debates about prosecutorial discretion and law enforcement policy in Minnesota. The mention of Governor Walz refers to Tim Walz, who has advocated for stricter gun control measures in response to rising concerns about public safety across Minnesota.
