Walter Hudson comments on political rhetoric, federal policy, and accountability in recent tweets

Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on October 13 and 14, 2025, addressing issues of political discourse, federal education policy, and moral responsibility.

On October 13, Hudson criticized the language used in a recent public call to action, stating, "So much for turning down the temperature. There's no other way to read a call to 'forcefully rise up' than incitement to violence."

Later the same day, Hudson addressed federal education policy in the context of a government shutdown, writing, "Using the federal government shutdown as an excuse to continue letting boys in girls' sports isn't fooling anybody. It will result in the loss of federal funds. And it should. Title IX should not be nullified by gender confusion." Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or educational program receiving federal funding.

On October 14, Hudson commented on perceived delayed action by unnamed parties regarding an unspecified individual: "It's too late. You get zero moral credit for throwing him under the bus now. The right thing to do now was the right thing to do immediately. And you didn't do it."

Title IX has been at the center of national debates over gender identity and participation in school sports. Recent federal guidance has stated that schools must not discriminate against students based on gender identity, which has led to legal and political disputes across several states.

Hudson represents Minnesota House District 30A and is known for his conservative positions on education and social issues.
