Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, has used his social media platform to comment on a range of political topics, including recent controversies involving public figures and U.S. policy. In a series of posts made on October 8 and 9, 2025, Hudson questioned the actions and motivations of several prominent individuals.

On October 8, 2025, Hudson criticized Congressman Eric Swalwell’s dissemination of AI-generated images in a post that read: "This is the second time Swalwell, a congressman, has proliferated an AI generated image to slander law enforcement in as many weeks. First, why so eager that you don't confirm source? Two, at what point does your position make you liable for negligence and incitement?"

Later the same day, Hudson referenced World War II veterans and victims of fascist regimes in a comment on modern approaches to fighting fascism. He wrote: "Little did our WWII vets or the 17 million people systemically killed know... but this is apparently how you fight fascism. ... some might point out that this is how you prove you're *not* dealing with actual fascists.... but that's just silly talk." (October 8, 2025)

In another post on October 9, 2025, Hudson questioned arguments related to presidential war powers. He stated: "The argument folks like Rand and Justin Amash are making is that there's no legal authority for Trump to do this. ... So... why would you need to amend the War Powers Act to stop him?"

Hudson’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about the role of artificial intelligence in public discourse and concerns over misinformation involving law enforcement. The posts also reflect continuing national conversations about legislative checks on executive power and historical memory in contemporary politics.
