Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, shared several posts on her X (formerly Twitter) account on October 13 and 14, 2025, addressing concerns about local governance, public safety, and remembering a community figure.

On October 13, Robbins expressed her views on the state of Minneapolis, writing: "Disappointed to see this, but not surprised. @Tim_Walz destroyed hundreds of businesses in Mpls. between the riots & lockdowns, which left a vacuum filled by crime & violence. Failed city leaders defunded the police & Mary Moriarty won’t prosecute crime. We need new leaders at https://t.co/CbrHpr8zHn". The post references criticism of Governor Tim Walz’s handling of unrest and pandemic restrictions in Minneapolis, as well as actions by local officials regarding policing and prosecution.

Later that day, Robbins highlighted an article by Ryan Wilson, stating: "Great piece by @RyanDWilsonMN on how the colossal failure of internal controls in state agencies & the complete lack of accountability by @Tim_Walz has eroded trust in gov’t. https://t.co/MPbpeKrxFv". In this tweet, she points to concerns over state government oversight and accountability under Governor Walz’s administration.

On October 14, Robbins commemorated Charlie Kirk’s birthday with a message directed to his family: "Remembering Charlie and praying for @MrsErikaKirk & their children today on Charlie’s birthday. Thankful for all of the young people he inspired. Keep speaking truth boldly! https://t.co/Cap9Pa8yjl".

Robbins’ remarks come amid ongoing debates in Minnesota regarding public safety policies and government accountability. The period following the 2020 unrest in Minneapolis saw significant political divisions over law enforcement funding and responses to civil disorder. Criticism has also been directed at state leadership for its management of crises during this time.
