Walz's 2020 record is fair game

It's hard to walk around south Minneapolis, which I recently visited for work, and not see what weak leadership is doing to a once beautiful state. The signs of the George Floyd riots of 2020 are still there: shops that are now permanently closed due to the riots and Covid, the fronts occupied by drug addicts. Madly erected wooden sculptures stand next to where Floyd was killed, along with much worse art featuring abolitionist, “ACAB” and Palestinian liberation motifs. The culture shock for someone from out of state is palpable.

The Twin Cities are beautiful, but they are blue islands in a state poised to turn red. Minnesota is Trump country, and Donald Trump may instinctively understand that more than anyone.

Governor Tim Walz, part of the group that ousted President Joe Biden from the Democratic ticket, has been one of the first governors to start campaigning for Harris. Understandably, as after Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, darling of the Wall St donor base, and considered a borderline war criminal among progressives for his support of Israel and volunteering for the IDF, Tim Walz is the top potential vice presidential pick.

It is important to note Walz's legacy. Let me quote a source close to the left, MSNBC.

They made Minnesota a safe haven for the trans community. They affirmed abortion as a fundamental right and removed restrictions that limited access. They legalized the recreational use of cannabis and passed laws for driver's licenses for all Minnesotans regardless of immigration status, automatic voter registration.

People only saw an Olympic boxing match where an intersex boxer almost damaged a woman's eye; they can read that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are getting driver's licenses that can allow them to vote. Add to that the total cost of 2 billion dollars for the 2020 riots and the more than 1500 homes and shops destroyed under Walz's leadership. The “weird” backlash is comical.

Trump's campaign team should automatically generate a thousand little clips of the riots if Walz is the VP nominee and turn them into campaign ads for every swing state. This election will be an election about crime and disorder, immigration and foreign wars. That's all there is to it. Despite the media blitz in favor of Harris, she is still Donald Trump's pick to lose.
