Trump campaign responds to Kamala's “American Nightmare” VP pick [VIDEOS]

In a fire statement released today, the Trump campaign didn't hold back on criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.

Describing Walz as a “West Coast wannabe” who aligns perfectly with Harris' liberal agenda, the campaign warned that his view of the country is “every American's nightmare.”

New statement of @TeamTrump's @kleavittnh:

“If Walz won't tell voters the truth, we will: Like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American's nightmare.” pic.twitter.com/861XPHlSFO

Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign's national press secretary, accused the governor of trying to turn Minnesota into a replica of California, highlighting his support for a carbon-free agenda, stricter emissions standards and policies that allow vote for convicted felons. According to Leavitt, Walz's views are a reflection of the “dangerously liberal agenda” that Harris represents.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reacts to Tim Walz's selection:

“Choosing a running mate is his first big decision as a nominee. With this decision he has shown how liberal he is. Walz is one of the most extreme left-wing governors in America.”pic.twitter.com/ls7qE5lbJ9

While Walz can cite progressive policy victories such as protecting abortion rights, legalizing recreational marijuana, and implementing gun restrictions, his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Minneapolis riots of 2020 has drawn criticism. Minnesota GOP Chairman David Hann called Walz a disaster for the state and accused him of being “the most partisan governor.”

Despite Walz's attempt to dismiss conservatives as “strange people,” his comments have only fueled conservative anger.

The governor's characterization of socialism as “neighborhood” has raised eyebrows among critics, who see his policies as a step toward a radical leftist agenda.

This is Tim Walz.

A self-aggrandizing socialist who proclaims “one person's socialism is another person's neighborhood.”

He is one of the leading candidates for Kamala's VP selection.

As Harris and Walz prepare for a campaign that spans seven crucial battleground states, the clash of ideologies will intensify on the political stage.
