Minnesota Outlet Criticized for Praising Tim Walz’s Clemency Decision

  • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz granted clemency to Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian national convicted in 2006 for repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl between 2002 and 2004, sparking widespread criticism.
  • The Minnesota State Board of Pardons unanimously supported Vang's pardon, citing his lack of additional crimes and victim support.
  • Vang was deported to Laos after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked his legal status due to the crimes committed.
  • The Minnesota Star Tribune published an opinion praising Walz's decision and comparing Vang's crimes to the January 6 Capitol protests, which drew backlash on social media and from political figures.
