Walz Slams Trump Over Hijab Student Video Repost

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized President Trump on Wednesday after Trump reposted a video of kindergarten students wearing hijabs. The video originally showed a group of young girls in headscarves during a classroom activity.

Walz called the repost divisive and said it targeted Muslim children. The governor accused Trump of using the video to stoke fear and intolerance.

The video was initially posted by a conservative account. Trump shared it on his social media platform without additional comment.

Walz said the children were participating in a cultural lesson. He defended the school's decision to allow the activity as part of teaching diversity and respect.
