Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, expressed confusion as to why the American people rejected the Harris-Walz campaign in favor of President-elect Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
Was Tim Walz the worst VP pick ever? Strong argument the answer is yes. So long, Tampon Tim! pic.twitter.com/JVO0v0QyuI

Walz and his fellow Democrats melted down after their devastating loss on Election Day, where the Trump-Vance campaign received 312 electoral votes compared to the Harris-Walz campaign’s 226 electoral votes, and the candidates were separated by nearly five million votes in the popular vote.
The liberal meltdown has NOT disappointed 😂🤣

In his post-election speech, Walz claimed to offer “our path forward” — which involved calling to decrease division while at the same time attacking his political opposition.
“It’s hard to understand why so many of our fellow citizens, people that we have fought so long and hard for, wound up choosing the other path,” Walz wondered aloud. “It’s hard to reckon with what that path looks like over the next four years.”
He then cited the various concerns of voters in the election, questioning how the American people could choose Trump’s plan to tackle these issues over Harris’ plan — despite the fact that she never truly articulated a plan to deal with any issues.
“What struck me everywhere I went without exception, people really wanted the same basic things” Walz said, citing “meaningful work, safe neighborhoods, good schools, affordable quality health care” and “security.”
He went on to whine about Trump while at the same time celebrating his own resumé in Minnesota — despite failing miserably as a leader, so badly that Trump made massive gains in Minnesota. Walz claimed that he helped the people of his state on those issues “by standing up for our shared values and rejecting hatred and bigotry” — a meaningless platitude aimed at attacking Trump based on the lies told about him by the left. Walz also claimed that he had “fought for everyone’s right to participate fully in our democracy” and “refused to scapegoat immigrants in this state.”
Walz continued to fearmonger about Trump’s second term while discussing his own plans for “our path forward.”
“I know there’s a lot of folks that are worried about the next four years and what they’re going to look like,” he said. “I’m one of them. The agenda we heard from the other side in this campaign was very different from the one we know is right for our state and our country.”
“We’ve already seen the damage a president can cause when he’s in it for himself, not the American people,” Walz claimed. “Look, we know what’s coming down the pipe. We know it because they told us, and we’re going to have to be ready to defend the progress that we’ve made here in Minnesota.”
He then vowed that “the moment they try and bring a hateful agenda in this state, I’m going to stand ready to stand up and fight for the way we do things here.”
Walz concluded his diatribe by claiming that the time was not right to judge their opponents, despite throwing hidden jabs at his opponents throughout the entire speech.
“I think sometimes we can be quick to judge people who don’t agree with us, to assume that they act out of cruelty or fear or self-interest,” he said. “I don’t think that kind of judgment is helpful right now, and I don’t think it’s right. I think we ought to swallow – and this is me in this, as I’m speaking about myself – swallow a little bit of pride and look a little harder to find common ground with our neighbors who didn’t vote like we did in this election.”
Tim Walz: “It’s hard to understand” why so many Americans voted for Trump.
This lack of introspection is a precise reason why the Harris/Walz ticket performed so poorly. pic.twitter.com/Rl2szHhChg
