Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative and public commentator, posted a series of tweets on September 27, 2025, addressing reactions to Erika Kirk’s decision to return to work following personal hardship and discussing issues related to federal prosecutions.

In his first post at 18:25 UTC, Hudson commented on criticisms directed at Erika Kirk: "The critiques of @MrsErikaKirk getting back to work with renewed commitment to her husband's mission are revealing. This one in particular, comparing it to wallowing over a breakup, is quite the self own. Christians. Have. Hope. That's the difference."

Later that evening at 19:17 UTC, Hudson challenged allegations of wrongful prosecution by federal authorities: "Point me to the person wrongfully prosecuted by federal authorities, the person who did nothing wrong, who isn't inciting, materially supporting, or directly engaging in violence, who nonetheless is prosecuted simply for what they believe. I'll be the first to condemn."

In a third tweet at 19:33 UTC on the same day, he reflected further on Kirk’s resilience: "She was completely devastated. Yet. She has hope, rooted in faith. She has conviction, rooted in righteous indignation. This is precisely what I would want from my spouse in this situation. Move forward. Trust in the Lord. Take comfort. Rise."

Hudson's remarks come amid ongoing national discussions about faith-based responses to adversity and concerns over political prosecutions in the United States.

As a Minnesota state representative since 2023 and known conservative voice on social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Hudson frequently addresses issues involving religious conviction and civil liberties.
