The Democrats are in a sad, bad place and the only answer is apparently Gov. Tim Walz. Or at least to those in the media and Minnesota politics trying to make the sad human wreckage cosplaying as a duck hunter happen.
His state is currently sinking under a $6 billion deficit. So it’s understandable why Walz would want another job. Less understandable is why anyone would pretend that he’s the answer to the party’s problems.
“He was underutilized and that was the symptom of the larger campaign of decision paralysis and decision logjam at the top,” said one former senior Harris aide.
Even so, this aide added, Walz got put “in a box,” and “we didn’t use him the way we could’ve.”
Use him to do what? Minecraft streaming with AOC? Fake duck hunting. More lying about his military career?
His two jobs were
-
- Win a VP debate
- Win his own state
He blew both. He was 0 for 2. This is like a plumber who can’t fix the toilet sending minions out to argue that he wasn’t a failure, he was under utilized.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said he “wished they would’ve put him out there more” because “the world seemed to want more Tim Walz, and there were times when I wish they could’ve gotten more Tim Walz.”
Who in the world wanted more Walz? Breathes there such a human being who is not Tim Walz? Is there a great outcry from somewhere, “We want Walz!”
After he was picked, 73% of Americans had no idea who he was.
But it won’t stop the media from lying about his lies.
Walz also faced the national media’s scrutiny for the first time, which unearthed his own gaffes and misstatements. For example, he “misspoke” when he described handling weapons “in war,” the Harris campaign said at the time, as Republicans dug into his military record. He also “misspoke” when he misleadingly claimed he’d been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
That’s not misspeaking. To misspeak is to confuse “what” and “where”, it’s not claiming you did things you never did when you damn well know you never did them.
The technical term for that is a ‘lie’.
In Montana, where he addressed a crowd of Democrats at a state party dinner, Walz told them that there is “no charismatic leader who is coming to save us.”
He better hope not.
