Friesen said that rural families faced roadblocks to online learning requirements during the pandemic, such as not having access to the internet.

"Rural Minnesota really suffered during that time," she added. "I don't think he cared for all his people well. He cared for the center of our state. North, south, rural, east and west, we did not get his attention, and we deserved his attention."

Friesen also said that she does not think Walz appears to want to connect with rural Minnesotans.

"Neither one of them are ready to lead a nation. Neither one. They don't have the experience. They don't have the wherewithal to fight for people who are here. And I think they have some distorted views on how to move forward. That would not better our state, nor our nation," she said. "So that's of concern."

Before entering the political scene, Walz worked as a high school teacher in Minnesota.

One of Walz's former students, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital that he was a "very belittling teacher."

"He yelled at students constantly. He would treat conservative students poorly and he would one side his teaching. If you were liberal he liked you, and if you were conservative he treated you like garbage. He was not a kind person. I nicknamed him "Hitler" because he was so strict and was constantly yelling at kids down the halls," the former student told Fox.

"Not to mention he was a traitor and left his crew behind during war. There is nothing honorable about that!"
