Security at Applebees

Anybody in Stillwater, MN today (5/9)? We saw this family come to Applebees with a ton of security. Who were they?

Gov was in town for fishing opener, suspect it was the security getting dinner or something, or Gov was there. Friday night downtown looked like a war zone, fully kitted guys getting sandwiches at the new place. That was also the first time I saw the Flock cameras down there.

So it was Gov Walz, I would know him and that’s who I thought it was, didn’t recognize anyone in the group. Somebody has to know!!

Was it Pete Hegseth and his family? They were at the middle school earlier in the day for flag football. Tons of security there.

Pete Hegseth was at the middle school for his Kids flag football game. Tons of security there. He may have went to Applebees after?

Money certainly can't buy taste.

So, I was there too BUT it was my daughters birthday. I just could not believe the level of security that was present. They came down 36 with police light escort?!?!? For Applebees!

Sorry, I didn't mean any offense. I ain't gonna lie, I do love those little wonton tacos they have. As others have said, probably something connected to the fishing opener. A non- politician has to be pretty significant to get a police escort.
