I’m spending a lot of time on Tim Walz today: Kamala Harris’ pick for Veep.
And I am-only because this man is so radical and out of step with the country-and yet- is being portrayed by the MSM as a midwestern moderate.
There are myriad falsehoods about this man that are floating around, including on the left side of the aisle, where democrats and pundits are lying to themselves about certain things, too- for example: how Tim Walz will appeal to veterans and rural voters.
No. He won’t. And I’ll tell you why today.
But I thought I’d start out the show by detailing the many, many ways that Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota has been one of the most radical and destructive democrat governors in the country.
And this is all documented. All provable. All that skeptical swing voters would have to do is ‘do some googling’. Look it all up.
The truth is: Kamala Harris has just ensured this ticket is the most radical and pseudo-socialist in u-s history. She is a far-left California senator-turned Veep-
He is a far-left congressmen-turned governor. And he’s got the professional and policy footprint to prove it.
For example...Gov Walz recently signed a bill that will allow ‘the state’ to take away the parental rights of a parent trying to stop a child from deciding-on their own-to cut off their own body parts because they insist they are ‘gender confused’, at any given moment of their development.
Tim Walz-actually signed a bill-that says if your 10 or 14 year old child is depressed, or struggling with puberty, and thinks they are ‘the wrong gender’...that child can make the call on life-altering surgeries for themselves-and if parents step in to stop it- the state can take custody.
On abortion- Tim Walz took a state that was-actually? - one of the most reasonable states when it came to abortion laws: a state that tried to be the most accommodating to both sides of the argument-
And Walz, instead, took it so far left that it is now -legal- in Minnesota to coerce women into having abortions.
In the name of ‘protecting women’, Walz and the radical dems in Minnesota have actually legalized - abortion right up to the point of birth with no exceptions-
And- erased a law that said women and girls couldn’t be forced into getting them.
Now-what possible sense does that make?
The truth is-Tim Walz signed two of the most radical pro-abortion bills in the country into law. Look it up. Don’t take my word for it.
Walz is in favor of abortion right up to the point of birth-and beyond. This guy’s new laws essentially legalize so-called ‘partial birth abortion’, which is infanticide. It is delivering the baby halfway out- then stabbing it in the head and scrambling it’s brains until dead.
That’s how radical this man is- on the issue of ‘life’ and abortion.
This is a governor who signed a law mandating public schools’ stock and supply tampons in the boy’s bathrooms for ‘transgender boys’.
This is a guy who signed a law that gives free college tuition to illegals in Minnesota. No kidding.
This is a guy who followed that up by giving -drivers licenses- to illegals in Minnesota.
This is a dude who is so radically leftist-he famously said during a zoom call of ‘white dudes for Harris’ last week- that: one person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.
This is a man who apparently believes govt coercion and confiscating wealth and property from-one person- to give it to another. Is just...’neighborliness’.
I’m glad I’m not-his-neighbor.
On the topic of crime: Minnesota used to be a largely ‘crime free’ state until Walz took over. He did such a God-awful job of handling the George Floyd riots that-even he!- has admitted that he botched it...
But he did so- because his first instinct was to see the looters and rioters as ‘political protestors’...and the reason his first instinct was-not- to call in the police and restore order is- honest to God.
This guy was ‘defund the police’ even before the George Floyd riots.
Again-this is all well documented: Tim Walz came into office as a governor who had no use for the police and a strong sense that ‘too many police’ being ‘too aggressive’ was what the ‘real problem’ in policing was.
And so- when George Floyd’s death occurred, and he had this high-profile case on his hands-as governor: when he had a decision to make on whether to defend the police or let Minneapolis burn.... He immediately...without hesitation...sided with the cop-haters and the rioters and refused to react to the burning and looting.
Folks, at the time, even the mayor of Minneapolis- who was one of Walz’s fellow liberals-Jacob Frey- blasted Gov Walz for his inaction.
And ever since that time- Minnesota’s democrats have been weak on crime and weak on policing and- under Gov Walz- that state has gone from a state that, historically, has had very low crime- to one that now has a shocking crime problem. Especially in the larger cities.
This is gov Walz’s-true record- in Minnesota.
Walz was also a shockingly bad and dictatorial governor when it came to handling covid. He had the state in extreme lock down....and was one of the last governors to relent and take his foot off everyone’s neck.
In fact, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said yesterday that -Minnesota- was one of the states that saw the largest numbers of residents fleeing to Florida- and staying.
Florida was a main destination during the great covid migration of 2020 and 21-and DeSantis says:
And if you think that last characterization ‘goes too far’...it doesn’t Ilhan Omar, Pryimal Jayapal, Jamal Bowman, and other members of the socialist squad have been some of gov Tim Walz’s most vocal supporters and advocates at election time.
They flocked to the state to campaign for him.
Now, given how rabidly nasty these socialist squad members will get-even at their own party members-if they don’t embrace socialism- gee-why do you think Tim Walz has gotten so much effusive praise and support from the country’s socialists?
Could it be because- at least in spirit and in policy- he is one?
He just said: one person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.
Does that sound like a traditional, or ‘centrist’ democrat?
This guy is a rock solid leftist radical who has ‘led’...on every radically left idea imaginable: from no-limits abortion and infanticide- to taking away parental rights- to appeasing criminals- to supporting sanctuary cities and giving illegals free benefits and driver’s licenses.
Hell, he’s even an eco-zealot and a radical on green energy and the false need to ban fossil fuels.
I’ve been focusing on his policies and his political beliefs. We haven’t even started to talk about his catalog of incompetence’s and failures.
The Washington Examiner has more on that here> Harris-Walz is the most radical ticket in American history
This is the truth of Tim Walz’s record.
Folks-even Joe and Mika were calling Tim Walz ‘a progressive’ yesterday morning on MSNBC. ‘progressive’ is code, of course, for ‘socialist.’
So-even Joe and Mika were admitting Tim Walz is at least pseudo-socialist-
And when they had Nancy Pelosi on-she insisted, ‘no, no. He’s a centrist. He’s moderate’.
This man-is not- a moderate.
This man has-not been- a good governor.
And this man-would not be- a good president or vice president.
Kamala Harris, here, chose the most radically left-wing pick that she could choose.
And I’m not the one saying that: disgusted democrat strategists were saying it to the insider rags in dc yesterday...
Disgusted over the fact that Harris didn’t pick more of a centrist...and now they have to launch an entirely new campaign to gaslight and lie to the public and claim he is-
And groups like CPAC were saying it-because they have tracked the voting records of our lawmakers for years-and say - Tim Walz is -genuinely-the most radically left choice among those men whom the dems were considering for Veep.
Josh Shapiro-the Penn gov- is nearly as leftist, but he’s a Jew-so Kammy couldn’t pick him. Not with all of the racist Jew-haters in the dem party...
Mark Kelly of Arizona is less leftist. Some of the others.
But she settled on the most radically. Left governor outside of the state of California.
Folks- Tim Walz is even more leftist than Kathy Hocul of New York state. And it’s not even CLOSE.
