Minnesota has a track record of electing flamboyant, if ineffective, representatives. Al Franken, Jesse Ventura, and Ilhan Omar are a sampling, but the poster child for off-center, inept members of the government has to be the current Governor, Tim Walz. Tim Walz gained national prominence for his role in the George Floyd debacle, which decimated the Minneapolis police department, burned nearly 2,000 local businesses, and divided the city and state beyond repair. While Minneapolis was burning, Mayor Frey, who had already surrendered a police precinct to the rioters, reached out to Governor Walz for National Guard support. Walz took it under advisement, finally calling the Guard to duty 26 hours later. The damage was already done, and the delay cost additional businesses and property damage.

Another situation that gave Walz the nickname Tampon Tim was when he directed the placement of tampon dispensers in all school men’s rooms out of respect for transgender boys. This was a horrific decision with no merit other than taking a knee to the WOKE wing of the Party. Walz has no spine and bends as the polls and Party direct him. Walz’s track record makes anyone question how he could have been considered for a vice president candidate, but that is precisely what Kamala Harris did; she made Walz her running mate. Harris/ Walz did win Minnesota, but barely with 51% of the vote. Walz did not help Harris win any key swing states, many of which are in Walz’s backyard.

Tim Walz has already indicated that he will run for president in 2028, which, to many people, is a parody. Tim Walz does not belong anywhere near the debate stage, let alone the Oval Office. Tim Walz is trying desperately to be the face of the Democrat Party. He is touring the country and speaking anywhere that will put him on a stage. He went to South Carolina this weekend to kiss the ring of James Clyburn, the Kingmaker who paved the way to the White House for Joe Biden. Like Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz is a governor who cannot govern a state but feels somehow he has what it takes to govern America. America cannot be as hoodwinked as the voters of Minnesota and California to allow these men to ever place their hands on the bible on January 20.

Tim Walz offers no solutions. He cannot tell you what he would do differently than Donald Trump. The entirety of Tim Walz’s message is anti-Trump. It is anger, hatred, and rage. Tim Walz is the male equivalent of Maxine Waters, although in no way is Walz representative of the American male. His dancing, prancing, and heart pumping across the stage do not spell masculinity to this old man; I don’t think it does to America. His latest idea to combat Trump is to label him a Bully. Hitler, fascist, and existential threat didn’t work, but calling Trump a bully is the latest Democrat play. Walz is calling for Democrats to get tougher and meaner. Walz is all but calling for violence from the podium. Maybe Walz is looking at the attempted murder of a dozen Jews in Boulder, Colorado, by setting them on fire as the type of “mean” act he is looking for. Shame on Tim Walz and anyone who feeds his rhetoric by supporting him.
