And this......

thehill.com———Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said one reason he was chosen as Harris’s running mate was because he could “code talk to white guys watching football” and “fixing their truck,” saying the Harris campaign sought to tap into Walz’s Midwest roots, teacher ties, military service and coaching of a high school football team in an attempt to appeal to general election voters.

While he liked to think he was chosen because of his delivering “amazing progressive things in Minnesota,” he acknowledged a large part was to connect with white swing-state voters.

“I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, I could put them at ease,”
Walz said. “I was the permission structure to say, ‘Look you can do this and vote for this.’”

Walz noted, however, that they “didn’t get enough of those votes,” and acknowledged missteps during the Democrats’ 107-day campaign but said he is aiming to help the party rebuild ahead of the next election cycle.

Now we know for sure Harris is a looney tune......here’s what the loon actually said:

“Okay, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she went on with a cackle.

Harris described how after they “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet,” elephants in the zoo “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”

“What a powerful metaphor,” she said. “Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer, when they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone.”


Huh?

Re: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D)

I am still amazed they managed to find someone more weird than Tim Kaine to be Kamala’s running mate. The idea that Walz could talk to Joe Sixpack and relate is hilarious. The video of him ineffectively trying to load a shotgun went viral precisely because Joe Sixpack was laughing at him and passing it along. His prancing stage presence was not something Joe Sixpack was ever going to find reassuring, something that was going to get Walz that vote.

They needed a gay, white, child diddling, commie to “code talk” to white football-watchers?!?

He made white, football-watching, pickup-fixing men’s skin crawl. What a putz.
