Tim Walz's daughter rants that running is a 'privilege' in latest bizarre bout of liberal outrage
U.K. Daily Mail ^ | 5/2/2025 | Will Potter

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.'

(snip)

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

She needs a 1000 page Personal Diary that comes with it’s own padlock. No one else, outside of her therapists, needs to read it.

And bear in mind that these are self-reported rates - the actual rates are probably even higher.

I think it's lower. Many are not mentally ill. They're just weak.

Modern people often self-diagnose normal feelings of sadness, anxiety or frustration as a "mental health issue."

And normal events (e.g., waiting in line, someone disagrees with you, you're rejected after a job interview) often cause their sadness, anxiety or frustration. Which they interpret as mental illness.

Speaking of incessant blabbermouths, I can’t even remember the last time I heard anything from Claudia Conway, you know her: oldest daughter of Kelly Anne and George Conway.
She was digitally everywhere about a year ago. Now, nothing.
Not that I wish to hear from her. Maybe it was just a phase.

For some reason Minnesota causes terrible dementia to weak minded people like the Waltz’s.

Despite the frightful power these insane liberals hold in the world, I do enjoy knowing that they are absolutely miserable empty people.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I remain amazed the Dems found someone more weird than Tim Kaine to be Kamala’s running mate.

“Communists wake up looking for things to be outraged by.”

You are way closer to the truth than you might think.

Leftist look at the world and all they see are injustices, which they define as “inequalities”. And it gnaws at them to such an extent that they are moved to blow up whatever system exists and replace them with untested fantasies,, which, if they succeed ends up killing millions.

That is the essence of leftism.

It won’t be a privilege it will be a necessity - if a gang of illegal alien would-be rapists are on her tail.

What a maroon. Genetics.

I call BS on the li'l bitch. One of the most famous books about running is a story (and a movie) by the title "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner".
"The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner" is a short story by Alan Sillitoe, published in 1959 as part of a short story collection of the same title. The work focuses on Smith, a poor Nottingham teenager from a dismal home in a working class area, who has bleak prospects in life and few interests beyond petty crime. The boy experiences social alienation and turns to long-distance running as a method of both emotional and physical escape from his situation. The story was adapted for a 1962 film of the same title." — Wikipedia
Running doesn't take any special gear. Jim Thorpe won his Olympic medals using a pair of mismatched shoes he found in the trash. And the corollary is that walking doesn't take any special gear either.
