Tim Walz's daughter claimed that running is a 'political act' that is only for the 'privileged.'
Hope Walz, daughter of the failed vice-presidential candidate, took to TikTok to share her views on the sport, saying her father taught her that running is 'political.'
'Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,' she said.
'The first thing he told me when I was getting into it in high school - granted, I don't really do it as much anymore, I go in spurts - when I was first getting into it in high school, the first thing he told me is that running is a privilege and being part of the running community is a privilege that not all people have access to.'
She listed several 'privileges' that people need to have to run, including 'time to run,' 'access to funds to buy the gear,' and 'healthy, quality food.'

'Sending people away without due process, villainizing minorities, all of those things are preventing people from getting into the running community,' Hope said.

Takes practice to say something this stupid. Dad was an inspiration
To Commies, EVERYTHING is "political."

Running out of Walmart with a TV is a Privilege

She has so much going on and seems to be mentally flailing.
I wonder if she blames herself for her father having an affair with the nanny who was looking after her and getting the nanny pregnant. Also, I haven’t seen anything about the baby that was born. Is this Hunter and the Bidet family 2.0 as in, let’s ignore the child and just move on with our lives?
Oh- never mind. I am confusing this situation with the other loser, Mr. Kamala. My apologies.
What about the dirt-poor Africans who dominate long distance running? This dippy chick should definitely team up with Emhoff’s wacky daughter — Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. They can refuse to shave their legs and underarms together.
‘Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,’
Stupidity can be taught. Swell.
Communists wake up looking for things to be outraged by. Sounds like she was not very fast.
She has a point. I think it’s time we allowed black people to run.
I’ll bet the dope has all kinds of boyfriends. Daddy gives out free tampons and condoms.
Daddy Sergeant Major must have failed to tell her that you don’t need to be “priviledged” for the Army to run your arse off.
Isn’t it interesting that some of the best marathon runners are from the African continent...and run barefooted?
Morons always beget morons...
Running is a privilege? So people who run back and forth playing basketball - they are privileged?
At first, I thought: “What an idiot!”
But then I realized, that given who and what her parents are, I realized that she never really had a chance. So I kinda feel sorry for her now.
Someone should tell her about the Tarahumara and all the great Kenyan runners who were hardly born wealthy and privileged.
That’s why all those Kenyans win the Olympics at running.
If he said Lacrosse or ice hockey, he could make a case. Running?
Ms. Walz is an idiot. Running is just about the cheapest sport there is, and you can run anytime, anywhere. Leave it to the mentally ill Demonrats to make running into a political issue!
Ps- I am a runner and the place where people are least political is the running group! We all kind of know how everyone stands, but no one brings it up! We all like each other and support each other. And yes, there are blacks, Hispanics and Asians in my running group, too. (I had to think about that because I don’t even notice it!)
The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
