Claim: During the 2020 Minnesota riots after George Floyd’s murder, Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, “so, I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-27)
Evidence (2024-08-06): Then president, Trump blistered the governor for the protests that consumed Minneapolis following George Floyd’s murder, and for not moving faster to deploy the National Guard. And though Walz’s state is not expected to be competitive this year, the handling of that crisis by Kamala Harris’ newly minted running mate is likely to be a focal point again now. [...] Trump has already laid the groundwork for a protest-based attack on Walz. He made the Minneapolis unrest a centerpiece of his 2020 campaign, casting the nation’s Democratic-run states and cities as lawless enterprises of the left. And this year is no different. At a recent rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, the former president resurrected a four-year-old false claim that he sent the National Guard to respond to the civil unrest, following Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, after Walz failed to do so. [...] Walz’s office has said that the governor activated the guard in response to requests from officials in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Evidence (2024-09-07): Sharp divisions persist over Walz's response to riots following George Floyd's murder [...] MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Tim Walz faced the biggest crisis of his political career when Minnesota’s two largest cities erupted in protests and riots after a white Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd. [...] That contrasts sharply with the praise that Trump heaped on Walz as the dust settled on the crisis. Two days after Walz ordered the full National Guard mobilization, the then-president told governors and administration officials on a conference call that Minnesota's chief executive had been doing a stellar job.
Claim: During the 2020 Minnesota riots after George Floyd’s murder, Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, “so, I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-27)
Evidence (2024-09-03): For years, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been criticized by some for his response to riots in his state after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020. That criticism picked up again this month when Vice President Kamala Harris chose Walz to be her running mate on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket. [...] Three days later, former President Donald Trump, the head of the Republican presidential slate, made the same claim about Walz at a rally in Montana. Trump, on multiple occasions, has even falsely claimed that he, not Walz, called in the Minnesota National Guard after rioters in Minneapolis and St. Paul began looting stores and committing arson. It was Walz who issued the executive order activating the guard — although he didn’t do so as quickly as some thought he should have. According to local reporting, the approval came about 20 hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey first phoned Walz on the evening of May 27, 2020, to ask that members of the state-based military force be sent to help local law enforcement. Some protests had turned violent on May 26, the day after Floyd’s death, and the civil unrest continued the next day.

Evidence (2024-08-07): Even before Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning, Walz was facing fresh scrutiny over what critics said was a delay in calling in the National Guard during the 2020 protests that engulfed Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd. [...] Trump himself has also falsely claimed — including last month during a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota — that as president it was he, not Walz, who called in the National Guard during the protest, after Walz dragged his feet. While that claim is not true, Walz and the Minneapolis mayor have long pointed fingers at each other over the delayed response, with Republicans blaming both of them in a later legislative investigation. [...] "Gov. Walz decided to deploy the National Guard at pretty much the same time Donald Trump was tweeting from his bunker, inflaming the situation and telling anyone who would listen to go after the protesters," said Democratic state Rep. Emma Greenman, who was a candidate for office during the protests, which occurred in the district she would later in 2020 be elected to represent.

Evidence (2024-08-15): After George Floyd’s killing, policing defined Tim Walz’s tenure [...] The pandemic fueled a spike in violent crime, while Minnesotans marched against police brutality after the murder of George Floyd. While most protested peacefully, others looted stores and set buildings on fire, including the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct. [...] Trump, at a recent rally in St. Cloud, falsely said he saved Minneapolis by calling in the National Guard, even though it was Walz who sent in the troops. And ABC News recently obtained a recording of a phone call in which Trump praised Walz for his actions at the time.

Tim Walz acknowledges ‘abject failure’ in protest response Nation May 29, 2020 10:05 AM EDT MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With smoke drifting over Minneapolis, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Friday acknowledged the "abject failure" of the response to this week’s violent protests and called for swift justice for police involved in the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white officer knelt on his neck. Watch the press conference in the video player above Walz said the state would take over the response and that it’s time to show respect and dignity to those who are suffering. "Minneapolis and St. Paul are on fire. The fire is still smoldering in our streets. The ashes are symbolic of decades and generations of pain, of anguish unheard," Walz said, adding. "Now generations of pain is manifesting itself in front of the world — and the world is watching."

[...] The other side: Trump, who was president at the time, said at a recent campaign rally that he "sent the National Guard to save Minneapolis" in 2020, even though he did not. [...] Reality check: Walz later denied that he activated the Guard due to pressure from Trump.

Tim Walz over his response to the violence that erupted after George Floyd’s murder, Trump told the governor at the time that he fully agreed with how Walz handled it. [...] Walz mobilized the Minnesota National Guard three days later to help restore order to Minneapolis after rioting that included the burning of a police station and numerous businesses. Trump offered federal help to Walz later that day, but the governor did not take him up on it.

Claim: “Infection rates in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties have consistently been among the lowest in the state.” (George Borrello, 2020-05-11)
Evidence (2022-05-13): The Bronx -- the 10th worst U.S. county for COVID deaths and the 20th worst for cases since the start of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins data -- also has the lowest booster dose rate (29%) of all five boroughs. Yet it has the lowest rolling infection rate in the city -- and the entire state, apparently -- and it's not even close. [...] Whatever the reason, the Bronx now stands alone -- with the three other counties statewide considered low risk by the CDC earlier in the week now getting upgraded to either high (Orange County) or medium risk (Chautauqua, Allegany). Based on the latest trends in New York City, though, that distinction may not last long. [...] Long Island also has the third-highest reinfection rate of the state's 10 regions (6.6 reinfections per 100,000 residents over the last week), well above the average of 5.3 and the rolling reinfection rate in New York City (4.1), New York data shows.

Evidence (2023-04-27): More than 394,400 Western New Yorkers have contracted Covid-19 since March 2020 and 4,368 have died of it. The five-county region – Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties – had reported declining case counts, hospitalizations and deaths since its second-wave peak in January 2021, as vaccinations ramped up across the region and more people acquire immunity. Cases and hospitalizations rose in early spring, peaked in mid-April and declined sharply before beginning an uptick in July that continued into the fall. The number of new cases dropped in early December but then shot back up around the holiday, reaching the highest levels since the start of the pandemic. The number of daily reported cases topped 2,000 three times in the last week of the 2021. But the number of new cases has since dropped sharply.

Evidence (2023-11-06): Social Determinants of Health Play Significant Role in Outcomes (BUFFALO, NY) The Health Foundation for Western and Central New York has issued a new report examining the state of community health in Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. The report, Community Health Needs and Opportunities in Western New York’s Southern Tier, finds that overarching systemic needs rooted in the social determinants of health exist throughout these counties and are major contributors to health outcomes in the region. Transportation access, health care workforce shortages, under-funded community services, and the impact of poverty are among the factors named as contributing to health disparities in the region. [...] "It is clear from this report that Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties have significant systems-level needs in addressing poverty, transportation, housing, and health care access, and are also home to inspiring and admirable partnerships among service providers that are making a real difference for the people they serve," said Nora OBrien-Suric, PhD, President, Health Foundation for Western and Central New York. "We hope that the information in this report will inspire action and policy to address the critical needs of the people of the Southern Tier, and reinforce the truth that all people deserve to live in healthy, safe, supportive communities."
