MN Gov Tim Walz: “Rocks and Cows” commentary was taken out of context

Here is a compilation video of MN Gov Tim Walz in 2020 saying he was critical of people who only believed rural (and red) areas of MN were “mostly rocks and cows” and then the leaked video of his 2017 public policy speech.

Decide for yourself.

Was Gov Tim Walz trying to refute the idea that rural MN is “mostly rocks and cows” in 2017?
