Bro, Kamala Harris just picked the most radical candidate on the board as her running mate in Tim Walz and here's how the Washington Post is covering the Minnesota Governor:
Just a former social studies teacher and football coach. Nothing radical about him. That is, until you scroll down the page.
Believe it or not, Walz used to be quite conservative.
In 2006, Walz won the race to represent Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, flipping a Republican seat in a rural part of the state.
In Congress, Walz positioned himself as a rare moderate Democrat who was a strong supporter of gun rights, earning him an A rating from the National Rifle Association. In his freshman year, he praised then-President George W. Bush for proposing to expand the Army National Guard forces, but also criticized Bush for his lack of a clear mission in the Iraq War and opposed his plan to send additional U.S. troops to Iraq.
But then,
Walz would win reelection to his seat five more times before leaving the House to run for governor. In the 2018 gubernatorial race, Walz defeated his Republican opponent by more than 10 percentage points.
By then, Walz had shifted to the left on several key issues, including on guns. After the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., Walz said his then-17-year-old daughter, Hope, urged him to do more to prevent gun violence. On the campaign trail as he ran for governor that year, Walz said he in turn donated all the money he had ever taken from the NRA to charity and publicly pushed for background checks and eliminating reciprocal-carry agreements between states ...
Democrats under Walz's governorship have enshrined the right to abortion, allowed undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license, expanded background checks for gun transfers, legalized recreational marijuana and offered protections for people seeking or providing gender-affirming health care.
Walz also signed an executive order that removes the college degree requirement for 75 percent of Minnesota's state jobs, a move that garnered bipartisan support and several states have also adopted. Democrats have also offered funding for free meals at schools and free college tuition for students from low-income families in Minnesota.
Turned left quicker than a NASCAR driver on the final turn!
More DEI leftism from Walz:
But yeah, WaPo, tell me more about how Tim Walz is just a high school football coach-turned-VP candidate!
