Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on September 19, 2025, addressing topics ranging from civics to consumer boycotts and the state of late-night comedy.

In his first tweet at 04:07 UTC, Hudson commented on public figures' understanding of civics and statesmanship. He wrote, "The 'you can do it' guy has a better grasp of civics, decency, and statesmenship than most elected officials... regardless of party."

Later that morning at 04:32 UTC, Hudson referenced past political activism in Minnesota related to corporate donations. He stated, "Don't worry, Disney. Leftists don't have the conviction or integrity to boycott anything.

I remember when Minnesota leftists 'boycotted' Target for donating to Tom Emmer.

They're still here.

And so is he." In this post, Hudson referred to previous calls by some Minnesotans to boycott Target after the company made political contributions supporting Tom Emmer. Despite initial controversy over Target's donation in 2010 and subsequent protests from progressive groups concerned about Emmer's stance on LGBTQ+ rights and other issues, both Target as a retailer and Tom Emmer as a politician have remained prominent in Minnesota politics.

At 04:38 UTC the same day, Hudson criticized trends in late-night television comedy. He wrote, '"Cover?"

You're a comedian doing a late show.

This is why your industry is dying.

You people lost the plot years ago.

Conan was the last pro.' The reference to Conan alludes to Conan O'Brien's reputation as an influential figure in American late-night television before his retirement from nightly hosting duties in June 2021.

Hudson serves as a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for District 30A. His social media commentary often addresses national cultural debates alongside local political issues.
