Under Tim Walz, Minnesota has become the test run for the war on Middle America.
As the Kamala Harris campaign unveiled their vice-presidential pick last week, conservatives could hardly contain their glee. The man of the hour, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, was a radical, they reasoned. The 2020 George Floyd riots began in his backyard. He championed every toxic left-wing cultural position available, from sex changes for minors to late-term abortion.
And — as the ensuing opposition-research feeding frenzy would soon come to reveal — he routinely misrepresented his military service overseas (or in this case, his lack thereof), up to the point of plausibly having committed stolen valor. “Republicans Are ‘Thrilled’ Tim Walz Is the VP Pick,” blared a New York Magazine headline. Among Republican insiders, the piece reported, “the response to Kamala Harris’s choice of Tim Walz as vice-president was one of overwhelming joy.”
