Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing backlash after boasting that he could “kick most of their ass” in reference to Trump supporters during a conversation on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom.
“I think I could kick most of their ass. I do think that,” Walz said while discussing the Democratic Party’s struggles with male voters. “I don’t know if I can outrun them.”
“But I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we want to, okay, we challenge you to a WWE fight here type of thing.”
During the podcast, Walz also criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) decision to support the Republican-backed stopgap measure to prevent a government shutdown. He argued that this move compromised the party’s leverage, stating, “I see it now that we’re in a point where… that pain is coming anyway, and I think we gave up our leverage.”
Social media wasted no time in slamming Walz’s statement, with many questioning why a sitting governor would resort to such rhetoric. One user suggested, “Only weak people have to tell others how strong they are.”
Another called him “the phony tough guy of the century.”
A retired Marine challenged Walz directly, saying, “I accept his challenge. Where do I sign up to fight Tim Walz, WWE style?” Others mocked the governor’s physical toughness, with one stating, “Walz couldn’t take on RFK Jr. at 70 years old. He would 💩 his pants.”
Others took aim at what they see as Walz’s political ambitions, calling his national town hall tour a money grab.
One post read, “Walz knows there is no chance he will be the candidate. He is setting up a money laundering grift. He will form an exploratory committee, take millions in donations, and then give it to friends and family in the form of campaign salaries.”
While Walz has downplayed talks of a 2028 presidential run, his actions suggest otherwise. He has embarked on a national town hall tour targeting Republican-held congressional districts. The tour, framed as an effort to reconnect with voters and counter President Trump’s influence, is widely seen as an attempt to maintain and elevate his national profile after serving as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the failed 2024 presidential election.
Despite losing by a significant margin to Trump, Walz has remained politically active, headlining Democratic fundraisers and publicly reflecting on the campaign’s shortcomings. His decision to skip Minnesota’s open Senate race in 2026 and potentially seek a third gubernatorial term has only fueled speculation about a 2028 White House bid.
The controversy over Walz’s remarks underscores a greater issue for Democrats: their waning support among male voters, particularly working-class men. Polls show that Republicans have made gains with this demographic, which played a crucial role in Trump’s reelection.
Nothing worse to see than a Beta trying to prove he’s Alpha. Harrumph
Just let the guy talk and he defeats himself What a whacko.
I’ll give the flaming homo my home address he is welcome to come here and show me that he can “Kick my ass” please Timmy go ahead, I’ll even let you have the first punch and Im a girl. This dude who most likely molested young men when he was a coach totally has that pedo vibes I knew that about him the moment I saw his ugly mug..no one is that obsessed about boys bathrooms unless he likes playing with boys wieners
It never fails to amaze me that the liberals can come up with a candidate for VP, and current governor of Minnesota, that has the attitude and couth of a lowland gorilla who thinks he’s a tough guy. He physically threatens republicans with wasted violence, talks about leverge Schumer suposedly gave up by not having the party blamed for shutting down the government and cutting off checks to the people they claim they are protecting while supporting actions by the last administration on border control, adding to the debt with overpaid government, and creating hurdles not in the best interest of the people they no longer represent with adult leadership.
