In a recent interview, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the tragic death of an American citizen in Minneapolis, shot by federal law enforcement. Bessent criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for allegedly "fomenting chaos" and not providing adequate security during his visit to the Minnesota Capitol. Bessent emphasized his role in investigating "substantial waste, fraud, and abuse" and expressed regret over the death, noting the individual brought a nine-millimeter semi-automatic weapon to a protest. Despite acknowledging the deceased's background as an ICU nurse and VA employee, Bessent highlighted the presence of the weapon, questioning the necessity of bringing a gun to a protest. ⁠#Minneapolis #ScottBessent #TimWalz #ProtestSafety #SecondAmendment #FederalLawEnforcement #GunControl #ICUNurse #VeteransAdministration #WasteFraudAbuse #USPolitics #PublicSafety #LawAndOrder⁠—⁠⁠You hear that, MAGA? According to the Trump administration, merely having a gun on you means the government can execute you. It doesn’t even matter if you brandish the firearm. If you have a gun, it's open season on you.
