Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) abruptly walked away when asked about the six hostages found dead by Israeli Defense Forces in Rafah after being murdered by Hamas terrorists.

Walz, who is campaigning to be Vice President alongside Kamala Harris, was attending the Minnesota State Fair, where he enjoyed fair foods and spoke positively about the event. However, he ended his interaction with the public when the topic of the hostages was brought up.

“What’s your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza?” someone in the crowd asked.

Walz gave a brief nod, waved, and said, “All right. Thanks, everybody,” before quickly turning and leaving, escorted by security, along with his wife and daughter.

Vice President Harris issued the following statement on Sunday in response to the news that 23-year-old American Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among the six hostages found murdered by Hamas:

“On October 7, Hersh Goldberg-Polin — an American citizen — was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. He was just 23 years old, attending a music festival with friends. We now know he was murdered by Hamas… Doug and my prayers are with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh’s parents, and with everyone who knew and loved Hersh. Americans and people around the world will pray for Jon, Rachel, and their family and send them love and strength. As is said in the Jewish tradition, may Hersh’s memory be a blessing. Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.”
