After the April 25 shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, Woke Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz posted on X, condemning the rise of political violence and praising the swift response of law enforcement. In his message, Walz wrote that “political violence has become all too prevalent in America” and said he was grateful for security at the event where President Donald Trump was evacuated after gunfire near the main security screening area.
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings, a CNN contributor, quickly quote‑tweeted Walz, calling out his hypocrisy with the caption “This you?” along with a Yahoo article quoting Tim’s past statements about him being disappointed about failed assassination attempts of Trump in the past.
Jennings and other critics argued that Walz’s denunciation of violence rang hollow, given his participation days earlier in a left‑wing conference in Barcelona, where he sharply attacked Trump, calling him a fascist, a rhetoric they say contributes to the hostile political climate.
Right‑leaning users on X accused Walz of hypocrisy, pointing to past comments in which he likened federal immigration officers to the “Gestapo” and warned that such language had coincided with a surge in threats and attacks on ICE agents.
One viral reply asked whether Walz and other Democrats “ever take a look in the mirror,” while another suggested his own words had helped create the environment that produced what critics call an attempted assassination at the dinner.
The backlash came amid broader conservative criticism of what they call a double standard on political violence, with commentators noting that Trump and his allies have faced multiple assassination attempts since returning to the White House.
On Fox News, “The Five” co‑host Greg Gutfeld blasted what he termed the “Democrat‑media complex,” arguing the Correspondents’ Dinner shooter had been radicalized by years of liberal pundits and politicians branding Trump a fascist, Hitler and a threat to democracy.
Gutfeld said the suspect “heard voices” from figures like Rep. Ted Lieu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, CNN, and “The View,” calling the attack a grim example of how constant demonization of conservatives can push unstable individuals toward violence.
