Your primary job as governor is to vet the people you’re bringing on board your administration.
That is far from the primary job of a state Governor. Do you really think that state Governors primarily sit around and personally read through everyone’s social media posts?

For cabinet positions? They better be doing a damned site more than trolling Facebook. One of the more cringeworthy aspects of the current Trump cabinet is his habit of picking up people he recognizes from TV. And yes, this is arguably the most important decision an executive chief can make - Governor, President, Mayor, whatever.
Thankfully, this asshole wasn’t in Walz’s inner circle, or there really would have been a scandal. But each of his cabinet picks need to vet and hire their own deputies. And they need to hire their own circle. At some point in this chain of hiring, somebody just waved this psycho through. For a fuck up of that magnitude, Walz absolutely should be firing whomever was in charge of assembling that board. And he should be going back down the line to weed out anyone of similar history or disposition.
And again, this wasn’t just some guy with sour Facebook material. This is like putting David Koresh on the government payroll.
