First he was a “knucklehead”; now he’s a “smarta--.”

Walz attempted to clarify his comments during a town hall in Rochester, Minnesota.

“This guy bugs me in a way that’s probably unhealthy,” Walz said, referring to Musk. “I have to be careful about being a smarta--. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people.”

“But my point was, they’re all mad, and I said something I probably shouldn’t have about a company,” he continued. […]

“They’re all butthurt about the Tesla thing, but they don’t care about the disrespect they have shown to employees at the Minneapolis VA who care for our veterans, and they fire them. They don’t care,” the governor said.

“Maybe it’s just me. If I’m the richest man in the world, I’m like out on the streets handing out money,” he added. “It’d be fun as hell just to help people out. Go help people out. Not this guy.” …

Someone must have pointed out to him that the state of Minnesota’s pension fund owns 200,000 shares of Tesla stock.

He had no idea of this until it was pointed out to him by Stephen Miller, who actually did the research and was more informed about the State of Minnesota pension system than the actual governor of the state. Walz is a joke.

You must have missed the part about the DFL voter-fraud machine. Al Franken was the prototype, it’s been perfected since then.

Wrong again Timmy. We bust a gut every time we watch a Nikita Khruschev wannabe prancing across a stage like a drunken ballerina, grinning like a cat eating feces and wiggling his two middle fingers at the crowd as he shoots off his big mouth.

Tim Walz is a thousand miles of bad road... democrats would be better off re-running dementia Joe.

++++++++++

Who would have thought that Jesse Ventura would be considered that smart governor in comparison to this ass-clown.

What a POS, but I digress, for such a manly man(so he says) he sure pussies out a lot when it comes to stupid things he says....and he says a lot of stupid things. What’s next, he’s gonna say he was just joking about being able to kick most of MAGA’s butts? or will he clarify and say he was only talking about the really old and sick ones.
