Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz enters the national scene as Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race after a terrible debate performance forced Democrats to replace him with Kamala Harris, who chose Walz as vice president of the candidacy.
It didn't take long for clips of things he had previously said to come out.

In this case, it's a clip that went mega-viral for what he said about limiting the free speech of American citizens even though the First Amendment was part of the oath he took several times before taking office.

Thanks, @elonmusk.
