Tim Walz Pardoned a Child Rapist to Block Deportation

At 1:59:22 · chapter starts 1:50:40

Vinny Oshea breaks down the case detail by detail: Thu Luu Vang from Laos was convicted in 2006 of sexual assault, strong-arm sodomy, and procuring a child for prostitution against a girl he abused between 2002 and 2004. He justified his actions as cultural, claimed the girl was equally guilty, and was set to be deported when the Minnesota Board of Pardons — Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — reversed his fate. The pardon blocked DHS removal proceedings. Patrick adds a disturbing detail: Vang later married the victim's older sister and had six children with her. Tom Ellsworth argues the real issue is moral relativism — officials in seats of power accepting 'cultural' explanations as mitigation under a constitutional framework that demands universal standards.
