Controversial Streamer Chases Down Gov. Walz

Zak X, an online streamer and controversial figure, quite literally caught up with Governor Walz while he was out on a jog. X, who, according to his social media posts, was in the Twin Cities on Wednesday "investigating fraud", came across Governor Walz.

X took the opportunity to catch up with the Governor, who was with a security detail, and asked the Governor about the fraud being reported in Minnesota and what he was going to do about it.

Governor Walz eventually signalled his security detail to step in and got between the Governor and X.

When X was asked about the reason he was out investigating fraud, he responded that he was doing it due to an "overall embarrassment of MN and the corruption and gradual decline over the past 10 years has been so alarming and dramatic."
