Following the fatal shooting of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, the president called Gov. Tim Walz "whacked out."

President Donald Trump will not call Gov. Tim Walz in the aftermath of the deadly shootings in Minnesota that killed a Democratic legislator and injured another, saying it would be a waste of his time.

Days after a Minnesota state lawmaker was killed and another injured in a "politically motivated assassination," President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would not call the state's governor, eschewing a traditional presidential response to tragedies.
