It blows my mind that Democrats thought Tim Walz was the best choice to be Kamala Harris' running mate. I said this last August, when the pick was announced. Even then, Walz had problematic views on things like socialism (he called it "neighborliness"), his ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and his dishonesty about his military service record.
But those things seem absolutely quaint in light of what we've seen and learned about Walz in the past 18 months. The guy the Left tried to pass off as America's Midwest Nice surrogate dad is a mean, corrupt, and petty little man who was unfit to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Back in September, Tim Walz said he looked forward to the day when he'd wake up to learn President Trump had died, a remark that earned angry scorn from the usually affable Scott Jennings.
Referencing viral rumors the President had died, Walz told a Labor Day rally crowd, "You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things… you woke up the last few days thinking there might be news. Just saying. There will be news sometime. There will be news.”
.@Tim_Walz, mocking President Trump’s health is a new low, even for you. Wishing ill on others doesn’t make you a leader—it makes you small.

He called ICE agents the "modern-day Gestapo" and refused to apologize for it.
He told an audience at a Minnesota Nurses Association event, "I see the pundits on TV, 'what's wrong with the Democratic Party?' What's wrong is our country's being stolen by fascists and Nazis, and we're trying to do all we can." He refused to apologize for that, too, saying he was referring to "Neo-Nazi" demonstrations and not President Trump or Republicans (sure, Timmy, whatever you say).
In an expletive-filled speech this past August, Walz once again attacked President Trump and Republicans saying, ""I always get in trouble for it, I'll continue to say it. I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it. These are fascist policies… That is what they are."
So much for his excuse that he was referring to "Neo-Nazi demonstrations," huh?
He compared President Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a Nazi event and called President Trump a "fascist" during a campaign stop in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Here, I'll point out that two assassins have tried to take President Trump's life, in large part because of rhetoric like Walz's and his fellow Democrats. One almost succeeded in Butler. After a week of calling President Trump's military orders "illegal" and saying National Guard members will start shooting random Americans in the street, an Islamic terrorist shot two of them in D.C., killing 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah by a Leftist.
As before, Tim Walz hasn't apologized for the way his rhetoric contributed to this political violence.
But Walz is awfully quick to play the victim card when President Trump called him a mean name.

First, I searched and couldn't find any video — not a cell phone recording, not a Ring Camera — showing proof of these drive-by name-callings. Which tells me Walz is lying about this, too. But even if it's true, calling Walz a "retard" may be insulting, but it's not an incitement to violence.
The Left was never running around with signs that read "Punch a retard." They did run around with signs that said "Punch Nazis," though.
And there's the (D)ifference.
