Tim Walz's COVID Lockdown "Hotline" Turned Neighbors Into Snitches w/ Ex Cop Brandon Tatum – Ask Dr. Drew

"Walz’s pandemic response was a complete and utter failure," Rep. Tom Emmer told The NY Post, which reported that in 2020, Gov. Tim Walz "even set up a hotline through which law enforcement received more than 10,000 emails from residents snitching on neighbors ignoring lockdown measures." Former police officer Brandon Tatum reviews the potential Vice President's record on defending Constitutional rights and medical freedom – and the alarming overreach of his emergency powers during the pandemic. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/892024 」••
