## "The road to authoritarianism": Tim Walz says the time for "sternly worded letters" is over

The irony, he told the attendees of the Center for American Progress’ “Listening to Lead” event Friday, was in lawmakers grilling him and his colleagues, Govs.

I know that,” Walz said, prefacing his argument that Americans are living in a “dangerous” time.

“I believed all along we were marching towards authoritarianism, and people were telling me in December, ‘You know, you're overreacting.’ And I said, “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting.”.

Walz shared the anecdote and warning Friday during an hour-long conversation at the Center of American Progress in Washington, DC, moderated by CAP President Neera Tanden.

“You can't just say they voted against their own self-interest because they're telling us, for some reason, something in there motivated them to do that.”.

Walz, for his part, said Friday that the move was a compromise with Republican state lawmakers who he said threatened a government shutdown.

“I think they have to go in, and we look weak if we don’t do it,” Walz added. »
