- Patrick Knight, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota, has publicly criticized Governor Tim Walz and other leading Democrats regarding the state’s sanctuary policies.
- Knight accused Walz and his colleagues of undermining the rule of law, suggesting that their approach treats legal obligations selectively, as if choosing from a “buffet.”
- The GOP hopeful emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law, suggesting that it is critical to the state’s governance and stability.
- Knight’s comments reflect a broader debate within the state over sanctuary policies, which are designed to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.
- He implied that such policies are contributing to what he describes as Minnesota’s “cratering” or declining state under the current administration.
- The criticism forms part of Knight’s campaign strategy to position himself as a law-and-order candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial race.
