Former Congressman Joe Walsh officially announced his candidacy for the 2020 Republican nomination today, vowing to defeat incumbent President Donald J. Trump.
"Friends, I'm in. We can't take four more years of Donald Trump. And that's why I'm running for President. It won't be easy, but bravery is never easy," Walsh tweeted. "But together, we can do it."
"We have someone in the White House who we all know is unfit. Someone who lies virtually every time he opens his mouth," he stated in his campaign video. "We cannot afford four more years."
Since exiting Congress, Walsh has been in the news for his outspoken criticism of President Trump, previous tweets claiming former President Obama is a Muslim, and being pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen into showing support for arming kindergarten students with guns.
Walsh claims he was tricked into showing support for a made-up Israeli defense program titled "The Kindergaurdians." He was invited by Cohen's team to accept a phony award, and was asked to sit down for an interview. He was told to read from a teleprompter that the program was "an example of how Israel trains and arms preschool kids on how to use firearms, and boy shouldn’t we do that in America?”
In an interview on CNN regarding that stunt, Michael Smerconish asked, "Did an alarm go off in your head, congressman?"
"It did," Walsh answered, "but it was too late."
He joins former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld in challenging the president on the GOP side.
As an aside, Hotel California was JW's first Eagles album.
A friend of mine is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer who re-mastered HC. He mentioned that a new tape formulation that promised higher sound quality was introduced in the studios at that time.
However, the new tape began disintegrating so my friend needed to literally "bake the master tape" to "reglue" the tape particles so it could be used for the remastering.
He looks just like Epstein...Maybe they’re brothers...
Joe Walsh is an idiot or the best tradition of the GOPe.
His only function is to put enough doubt into the swing voter's minds to tip the vote to the Democrats...All never Trumpers would rather have a Democrat lead the Country than Trump...And the major news media will do the best they can to help him along...
And likely the next thing they will do is to cut Trump's Twitter feed to keep him from communicating with the voters...
Never heard of this guy till last week.
I thought it was touching we he included his mother in the “we.” But he also mentioned friends. That will be some campaign rally: his mom and three friends. Trump will be jealous.
I would not be surprised to see McCain wannabe Kasich and perennially slippery Willard join the fray, as soon as they can line up support from...who? Dems?
.
OMG this guy is so hate filled. I see his Tweets and he has TDS bad. Idiot isn’t brave, he’s stupid.
Israeli Kindergarten kids with guns.
Read the whole page to see what a MORON this guy is.
Although with that poor country under CONSTANT threat of attack, I don’t know if I wouldn’t have fallen for it too.
He is the latest simulacra created by your friendly Artificial “Intelligence” entity.
Hope that answers your question. ;-)
The announcement I received from Fox News stated:
......Tea Party favorite Joe Walsh is running for republican nomination....
I didn’t realize that Joe Walsh was the Tea Party favorite!!!!
The Tea Party has been dead for years.
He’s God’s gift to everyone and everything, just like John K-sick and Mitt Romney and John McCain.
Just like Marco Rubio and Joni Ernst are Tea Party favorites.
If he manages to poll single digits I’d be amazed. And Trump will eviscerate him if he shows up for any debates.
This glory-seeking RINO wants his 15 minutes of fame at the expense of Real Americans. Walsh? is he a puppet or just a full-on Putz? (or both?). What a freakin’ FOOL.
Who the hell would vote for some guy who brags about his Maserati doing 195? Worse off, I hear they took this guy’s license so he can’t drive.
Life may have been to him so far, but not good enough to be elected POTUS.
Seriously tho snd he said Trump is a narcissist.
I would never vote for Joe. I stopped listening to him a year ago. I thought he cared about conservatism. He only cares about getting elected. He says he is for cops and military. But thats unless Trump is for cops and military, then there is something wrong with it. Joe just hates Trump. He would vote for Nancy before he would vote for Trump. He says he is for the second amendment, but not the way Trump is. If Trump is for something, Joe takes the other side. Joe needs to slink off into some corner somewhere.
