Presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ pick for vice president — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — once criticized the former Trump administration for barring transgender people from the military, according to a review of public reports.
Former President Donald Trump announced the ban in 2017, citing concerns that the military needed to be focused on achieving “a decisive and overwhelming victory” without being “burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” Walz was vocal about his disapproval of the ban during Trump’s tenure, initially decrying it as “completely unacceptable” and warning that prohibiting transgender individuals from joining the military undermines its readiness, according to multiple reports.
There is an open debate as to whether transgender individuals should be allowed to serve in the military. As of 2021, 66% of Americans polled said they supported the notion, down from 71% in 2019, according to Gallup.
“After 24 years of service as an enlisted soldier, I know what it takes to build cohesive teams in our military. This President [Trump], who hasn’t served a day of his life in uniform, does not,” Waltz said in a now archived statement in 2017. “Let me be clear: serving alongside troops who happen to be different from you is not a challenge.”

Mental freaks with guns what a great idea
Walz’s chief advisor is a tyranny dude standing tall in his pink dress. Over six foot tall too.
Don’t care what the polling says.
In a swing state, pro transgender is a losing position.
Shouldn’t that fat pos be humping his nanny?
“waltz” is an effing weirdo who is actively undermining the mission of the US military.
Klinger is ready to Walz.
Well, like Walz, trannies don’t go to war either.
So there’s that.
Harris and Walz are just the opening act for the New World Order Government, the equivalent of the Opening Ceremony of the woke Olympics. It’s Kamala and the Freaks!
If anyone is offended by my remarks, I am sorry, I clearly never intended to disrespect any religion or group..
Maybe, but you definitely know when to bail out from your team once deployment orders have you heading towards Iraq.
yay! he’s speaking out his ridiculous leftist garbage
Camel-Uh has been hiding for 17 days already
it would make much better sense for both of them to hide until “election day” and then just wait until the DNC’s ETM (Election Theft Machine) fakes up enough “votes” to (s-)elect them
like Biden had the smarts to do in 2000
Kamala obviously isn't aware of this strategy.
By selecting Walz, she is painting herself into the "radical" corner.
She is not painting herself into any corner...she next will have covid and the basement campaign goes full bore.
They have one in state Congress. Looks like a male Delorio
Rosa something. DeLaro. ?
Why are we talking about fake women and fake men? Who created this issue? Who cares?
If you are XY, you are a man. If you are XX you are a woman. Pretty clear to me and all normal people. The issue is, can you meet the military physical requirements.
Also, if you are a man, you’ll need to use the men’s room and stay out of women’s spaces. Same goes if you are a women...use the women’s room and women’s spaces. How did the world go crazy on this issue? Seriously, who brought this up....someones crazy uncle?
If you want to win the election, even if you cheat like the Democrat machine did for Biden, you have to win some independent voters.
If you pick one of the most radical politicians in the country as your running mate, you have done nothing but virtue signal to your already loyal radical voters.
In other words, rather than broaden her appeal to voters, she has doubled down on radical. This hands ammunition to her opponents.
Even Obama tried to act like a moderate at times while campaigning. With Walz, Kamala has foreclosed this option.
Shut up, pervert.
