‘I’ve become friends with school shooters’: Tim Walz makes bizarre debate gaffe; draws backlash

During a debate on school shootings, Minnesota governor Tim Walz made a major gaffe by saying he had become friends with school shooters, causing shock among viewers. Social media erupted, with even former President Donald Trump mocking Walz’s statement. However, the tension eased when Walz shared a personal story about his son witnessing a shooting.
