Former federal prosecutor demands Walz answer for pardoning murderer who killed 11-year-old girl

Former federal prosecutor Joe Teirab, who is running for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, blasted Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for pardoning a man serving a life sentence for murdering an 11-year-old girl.

During an interview with Fox News, Teirab explained, "I think Tim Walz has to answer for this: there’s a man in Minnesota, a criminal named Myon Burrell, and some people might know his story because Myon Burrell’s a Bloods criminal street gang member."

He continued explaining "Myon Burrell shot and killed an 11-year-old girl who was doing her homework on her kitchen table in Minneapolis. He was convicted and he did almost 20 years in prison. And, after -- he maintained his innocence, which he definitely wasn’t. Guess who commuted his sentence? Tim Walz commuted his sentence.”

However, the story doesn't end there. Teirab continued saying, "And, not long after being off of probation for three months, this criminal, Myon Burrell, got picked up for having drugs and a gun in his car. And guess who bailed him out? Because he was set free. Guess who bailed him out? The Minnesota Freedom Fund. The same fund that Kamala Harris was soliciting funds for during the riots.”

Walz, who was selected to be Harris's running mate, pardoned a murderer who killed a child, and that same murderer went on to engage in the same behavior only to get bailed out by a fund supported by Harris.

For Americans concerned about how Harris and Walz will improve our quality of life, Teirab has given us a good look. This entire story is outrageous and Walz must answer for his actions as should Harris answer for supporting the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
