Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has disclosed that he responded to President Trump’s criticisms during a conference call with governors on Monday morning.
He said he told the president: “No one is laughing here. We’re in pain.”
It comes after Trump reportedly called governors “weak” and said the world was “laughing” at them.
The governor refused to confirm that Trump called him weak, but said: “I think those were the words.”
“It was a hard conversation today,” he continued, adding that governors are looking to his state, where protests first began before spreading nationally, much like states have looked to New York to better understand Covid-19.
Audio of the phone call with governors has emerged, in which the president is heard disparaging governors and calling for a tougher response from police.
