The MAGA War Room account on X posted a comment that Tim Walz is a “weird radical liberal” and attached the video to it. Now that Kamala Harris has picked her running mate, it will be a full-scale attack from both sides as they look to mock each other. However, the Democrats tried calling JD Vance weird and that totally backfired when you look at it. The number of actual weirdos in Joe Biden’s administration, and the number of odd scandals they’ve been involved in, is much weirder than JD Vance who has a Netflix movie about him.

For example, Joe Biden’s one guy wears lipstick and steals luggage. Joe’s other guy, the PA health fella, dresses like a woman and tries to act like one. Some Democrats were even caught, ON VIDEO, engaging in gay adult activities in a Capitol room. But these folks want to call JD Vance weird? Why, because he’s a straight male with a family?

Republicans are giddy at Vice President Harris picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate and are quickly kicking off their attacks against him, headlined by his handling four years ago of the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) posted on the social platform X that Walz “let rioters burn Minneapolis to the ground in 2020.” House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said in a statement that Walz “supported BLM rioters who torched Minneapolis to the ground.” And Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), former President Trump’s running mate, brought up the demonstrations in a campaign speech Tuesday.

“You think the black business leaders in Minneapolis are grateful — the working-class business leaders are grateful — that Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down their business?” Vance said in Philadelphia.

The focus on the protests against police brutality in 2020 — which started in Minneapolis after a police officer killed Floyd by kneeling on his neck and spread nationwide — offers a preview of the Republican campaign against Walz, and the Democratic ticket as a whole.

The GOP has been struggling since President Biden dropped out and Harris became the probable Democratic nominee, providing the party in power a major shot in the arm in the form of both donations and enthusiasm. At the same time, some Republicans have expressed dissatisfaction with Vance’s performance on the campaign trail and dismay that the Trump campaign seemed unprepared for Harris’s rise.

The choice of Walz, a former member of Congress and second-term governor who has backed a number of policies favored by progressives, has provided Republicans with a new target that checks many of the boxes for GOP attacks.

Republicans have called him a socialist and said he and Harris make up the most liberal presidential ticket in U.S. history.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told The Hill in an interview Tuesday that Harris picking Walz “makes it easier for us.”

“He is a far-left candidate and choice. I frankly thought that she might try to choose a moderate, but obviously she has proven once again who she is,” Johnson said.

One GOP operative told The Hill that Walz “might come across as a Midwestern nice dude, but he’s a socialist and in a way that the rest of America is not. He’s going to be a problem for them.”

The operative rattled off a list of issues, including Waltz giving illegal migrants driver’s licenses and instituting so-called red flag laws, allowing authorities to remove guns from people who are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others.

A second GOP operative said Walz’s policy positions make him “a Republican oppo research gold mine.”

“And that’s before we get to the fact that Minneapolis burned down on his watch,” the first operative added, referring to the 2020 protests.

Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), a top ally of and former aide to Harris, took issue with the characterization that Walz moves the ticket to the left, saying his actions as governor were “balanced.”

But top Republicans quickly latched onto Walz’s handling of the protests and argued that he was too slow to respond to them.

In a press blast, the MAGA Inc. political action committee supporting Trump pointed to news stories about Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) accusing Walz of not acting fast enough to send National Guard backup, and to a report from Minnesota state Senate Republicans that said Walz’s failure to recognize the severity of the riots led to “delayed reaction and increased violence.”

For Republicans, Walz’s connection to the Minneapolis demonstrations fits in with their focus on crime in major U.S. cities and with a favorite line of attack against Harris: that she posted on social media in 2020 to raise money for a fund that paid bail for protesters in Minneapolis who were arrested.

While bashing Walz, Stefanik said that Harris “fundraised to bail out violent criminals from prison,” while Scalise charged that Walz had been soft on “the same rioters Kamala Harris raised money to bail out.”

“They’re a dangerous duo that’ll let crime destroy our communities,” Scalise said.
