Tim Walz Just Got Roasted for Lying About Rescued Campers
Townhall ^ | August 26, 2026 | Amy Curtis

Posted on 08/26/2026 7:12:39 AM PDT by Red Badger

It's hard to believe that Tim Walz was almost a heartbeat away from the presidency. In addition to his incompetent leadership in Minnesota, where he oversaw rising crime, protected illegal aliens (even pardoning a sex offender), and allowed billions in fraud in the state's welfare programs, he's just a mean, dishonest little man.

This is the guy who cheered a crash of Tesla stocks, too, forgetting that Tesla employs a lot of working-class Americans.

The pettiness runs deep, and so does his willingness to lie if it means smearing President Trump. And that's what Walz did recently. With wildfires raging in Canada again, Walz falsely claimed that the Trump administration did nothing to help YMCA campers threatened by the blaze.

Instead, he gave Canada credit for the rescue. This was in response to the ongoing trade war between the Trump administration and Canadian PM Carney, of course.

There's just one problem with this: the campers were in Canada.

Yeah…that Chris Farley looking clown was never going to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. One look at him and most adult men just shook their heads.

Administration should respond to this with that fact. Or else, put out a tweet pointing out that Walz has still not allowed his state to contribute anything at all to fighting wildfires still raging out of control. (They are in Canada, but that’s not important.)

From the article: This is the guy who cheered a crash of Tesla stocks, too, forgetting that Tesla employs a lot of working-class Americans.

It wasn't just that Tesla employs a lot of Americans, it was also that the pension fund of state employees in Minnesota had investments in Tesla. Meanwhile, the governor is cheering a drop in the value of their retirement money. Ignorant and sick.

The entire DFL staffed government of MN is a bunch of communists. Walz, Flanagan, Klobuchar, Smith, Ellison, Omar, Craig, Frey, and on and on.
Not an American among them, they all hate America.
I don’t hold much faith, that Minnesotans will clean house in ‘28, but they deserve what they get, if they fail to do so.

As much as I dislike Tim Walz - who put himself out there as "America's Dad," and/or "America's Grandpa" - a former high school teacher, football coach, and "average" Midwesterner - I hate those who voted for him even more.

A "mean, dishonest little man," is a good description of Walz - he protected Somali fraudsters and criminals.

Best thing Walz could do with his amount of unpopularity is to just keep his mouth shut....And NOT run for any office.
