Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, posted and then deleted a profanity-filled TikTok video on Saturday in response to President Donald Trump calling her father “seriously retarded.”
Copies of the video were saved and circulated on social media before it was removed from the platform.
In the video, Hope Walz, 24, criticized Trump and said his remarks had led to new attacks against her family, particularly her brother Gus, who has a non-verbal learning disability.
“The president calling my dad what he did has unleashed a fing sstorm regarding offensive language towards me and my family,” she said.
She continued, “You can call me whatever you want, you can call my dad, my mom. When it’s Gus, f**k to the no. F**k to the no. He dealt with people calling him that last August and now there’s a resurgence.”
She appeared to be referring to a moment during last year’s Democratic National Convention when Gus Walz was seen crying and saying “that’s my dad” as Governor Walz accepted the vice presidential nomination.
Hope Walz said online harassment had intensified.

“I have people DMing me saying absolutely horrendous things. When I was home last week, somebody drove by and screamed that we were R-words,” she said.
“What world are we f**king living in.”

Trump’s comments about Governor Walz followed reporting from The New York Times that criminals, many of them from Somali communities, had stolen more than $1 billion from Medicaid-funded social programs in Minnesota.
On Thanksgiving, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”
During an appearance on Meet the Press last weekend, Governor Walz responded to Trump’s language.
“He’s normalized this type of hateful behavior and this type of language,” Walz said.
“And mainly, look, at first, I think it’s just because he’s not a good human being.”

Federal prosecutors have charged 86 people in connection with the Minnesota fraud schemes, and 59 have been convicted so far.
One major case centers on the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which reported serving tens of thousands of meals to low-income children during the pandemic.
Prosecutors allege most of the meals were fraudulent and that taxpayer funds were spent on luxury homes, cars, jewelry, and overseas real estate.
Minnesota’s fraud wasn’t an accident — it was engineered.

In recent months, Governor Walz began shutting down the state’s housing initiative, saying the program had grown beyond repair.
The fraud expanded from an expected $2.6 million in costs to $104 million, largely due to falsified billing reports.
Hundreds of providers were reimbursed for services that prosecutors say were never delivered.
Another program intended to provide therapy for autistic children was also targeted.
Prosecutors allege that providers located children in Minneapolis’s Somali community and falsely certified them as needing autism treatment.
Parents were allegedly paid kickbacks in exchange for cooperation and silence.
Critics cited by The New York Times say the fraud persisted in part because civil servants were reluctant to pursue complaints out of concern it would alienate Somali community leaders.
Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response.

In 2020, Minnesota Department of Education officials faced an influx of applications for new feeding sites.
As invoices mounted, staff members grew concerned about claims for meals supposedly distributed to tens of thousands of children.
Feeding Our Future warned the state that delays in approving “minority-owned businesses” could lead to a lawsuit alleging racism.
The state eased its scrutiny, but Feeding Our Future sued anyway. Approvals and reimbursements continued for months as red flags accumulated.
Governor Walz has said the administration “erred on the side of generosity” during the pandemic and focused on moving relief money quickly.
On Friday, Dr. Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), warned Minnesota that Medicaid funding could be withheld if the state does not take significant steps to address fraud.

In a letter to Walz, he required the state to provide “weekly updates” on its audits of 14 programs identified as high-risk.
By the end of December, CMS expects a plan detailing how Minnesota will prevent future fraud.
The letter concluded, “By the end of January 2026, if your administration has not taken sufficient corrective steps, CMS may initiate actions to withhold federal Medicaid funding for expenditures related to the fourteen identified high-risk programs.”
