The wife of Harris' VP pick's admission about the 2020 riots on social media has sparked controversy.

A video of Kamala Harris' running mate's wife describing her actions during the 2020 Minneapolis riots went viral on social media.

Gwen Walz, the wife of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was chosen by Vice President Harris to be on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket.

Walz's management of Floyd's death in 2020 was a crucial aspect of his gubernatorial record, which ignited nationwide demonstrations concerning race and police brutality.

"During the riots, Walz's wife experienced more sleepless nights, as she could smell the burning tires and kept the windows open as a reminder of the events unfolding."

Gwen Walz's remarks sparked astonishment among conservative commentators after the clip became viral on social media.

"What word best describes reveling in the catharsis represented by the torching of other people's property? Noah Rothman, a senior writer at the National Review Online, suggests "eccentric" or "offbeat.""

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk described the comments as "weird."

"Journalist Abigail Shrier found the situation with the Walzes to be deeply unsettling, stating, "We must delve deeper into understanding the Walzes.""

Dustin Grage, president of a conservative Minnesota-based consulting firm, stated that the comments were "bizarre." He added, "Her daughter also collaborated with rioters to inform them that the National Guard would not be activated one night."

"This short clip contains all the information you need to know about leftist elites, as Daily Wire host Matt Walsh stated on X. According to Walz's wife, she sat by the window and enjoyed the scent of burning neighborhoods during the Floyd riots, but did not play a fiddle."

Gov. Walz faced criticism for his approach to the riots. Conservatives claimed he failed to take action as the state was consumed by unrest.

The delayed action resulted in devastation for hundreds of businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul, forcing them to seek government assistance for recovery in addition to the losses they suffered due to pandemic-related closures.

At the time, the first lady was aware that Minnesota was under national scrutiny.

"Due to COVID-19, the state closely monitored Tim's actions. However, after Mr. Floyd's death, the entire country and the world were observing Minnesota's response."

The scrutiny of that record has intensified as Walz is thrust into the national spotlight, with Republican critics attacking the way both Walz and Harris managed the 2020 crisis.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida accused Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of sitting by and letting the BLM riots in Minneapolis happen, while Vice President Kamala Harris was accused of egging them on."

On Tuesday, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate, criticized Walz's 2020 record by saying that his addition to the Democratic ticket was an "interesting tag team."

""The riots that occurred in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 were allowed by Tim Walz, who let rioters burn down the city. Later, Kamala Harris bailed the rioters out of jail," said the speaker."
