Summary

“Walz’s pandemic response was a complete and utter failure,” Rep. Tom Emmer told The NY Post, which reported that in 2020, Gov. Tim Walz “even set up a hotline through which law enforcement received more than 10,000 emails from residents snitching on neighbors ignoring lockdown measures.” Former police officer Brandon Tatum reviews the potential Vice President’s record on defending Constitutional rights and medical freedom – and the alarming overreach of his emergency powers during the pandemic. Brandon Tatum is a former Tucson Police Officer, author, and media personality. He co-founded BLEXIT and authored “Beaten Black and Blue: Being a Black Cop in an America Under Siege.” He hosts the nationally syndicated “The Officer Tatum Show and Podcast.” A former All-American high school football player, he played for the University of Arizona and was featured in the US-Army All-American Game. During his 6-year tenure with Tucson PD, Tatum served as a SWAT operator, field training officer, and Public Information Officer.
