Walter Hudson shares opinions on political figures and federal authority

Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on September 21, 2025, expressing his views on the legacy of public figures, religious revival in politics, and the limits of state power over federal agents.

In one tweet from September 21, 2025, Hudson commented on the future recognition of political personalities: "100 years from now, no one will remember who Ilhan Omar was. But many of them will have attended a Charlie Kirk Senior High, or grown up on a Charlie Kirk Blvd."

Later that evening, he addressed Steve Deace, a conservative commentator known for discussing faith and politics. In his post at 21:54 UTC, Hudson wrote: "Well, my dear @SteveDeaceShow... ... you offered us revival or bust. I'm happy to say, we've given you our answer."

In another tweet at 22:26 UTC on the same day, Hudson criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom regarding state versus federal jurisdiction. He stated: "He's either an idiot or a liar. States have no authority over federal agents. Here. I'll prove it. Hey, Newsom, go ahead and try to arrest one. See what happens."

Hudson has served as a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives since January 2023. His remarks reflect ongoing debates about the influence of national figures in American culture and questions around states' rights compared to federal powers—a recurring issue in U.S. constitutional law.
