Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz delivered a fiery message on Tuesday to a crowd of more than 2,800 people at a town hall in Youngstown, Ohio, pushing Democrats to rethink their message, rally around working-class values, and call out greed where it exists.
“It's okay in America to be successful. We should celebrate that when people are successful,” Walz said. “What my beef is, once you get successful, don't be a greedy bastard and not pay your taxes. Don't do that.”

A Rally Against Trump's Policies
The event, hosted by Walz, was packed with local residents frustrated by President Donald Trump's policies, including tariffs, mass deportations, and federal layoffs. While the night focused on building Democratic momentum in a region that has leaned Republican in recent elections, it also served as a sharp rebuke of the former president's economic approach.
“The only thing many of us question is, is it malevolence or stupidity that drives him to these [policies], or both?” Walz asked the crowd.
He made it known that Democrats need to engage at every level of politics, from school boards to Congress. “It means paying attention to school board races, because the Moms for Liberty folks sure the hell are,” he said.

Calling Out Wealth Without Responsibility
Walz also warned about the unrealistic expectations being shaped by social media. “We're creating a false narrative that everybody is super rich and has Lamborghinis and life is easy,” he said. While emphasizing that working hard and earning rewards is part of the American dream, he drew a line when it comes to tax dodgers.
