Another hole in the Left’s already tattered Walz “America’s dad” narrative.
When Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her running mate, Reuters informed us that he was a “plain speaker from the American heartland to help win over rural, white voters.” That’s what the Harris-Walz campaign wants us to think, but it has quickly become a virtually impossible narrative to sustain. Now, a retired Minnesota police lieutenant has shot another hole in the left’s already tattered Walz “America’s dad” narrative, and shown yet again how far left the Leftist Next Door really is.
Fox News reported Thursday that retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel knows the real Tim Walz behind the propaganda smoke and mirrors: “He is not a moderate, he has never been a moderate and here in Minnesota he has been anti-police, he has raised taxes, he is nowhere near being a moderate.”
Even worse, “he’s anti-police, defund the police, when you have police families, and we have an officer killed in the line of duty, when that family looks at the governor and says we don’t want you at the funeral. That should tell you a great deal of how law enforcement in general feels about Walz.”
Indeed. It also tells us why the left loves him so much and why patriots should regard him as potentially even more dangerous than Harris herself.
Nagel, according to Fox, said that “a major reason law enforcement in Minnesota is unhappy with Walz was his slow response when asked to send in the National Guard as the city burned during the 2020 George Floyd riots, which Walz has faced fierce criticism for since becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee.” And why was Walz slow to send in the National Guard? “We’re hearing this over and over and over again, he let Minneapolis burn,” says Nagel. “I think he intentionally let Minneapolis burn.”
Oh, surely not! Why, surely an American public servant wouldn’t willingly aid and abet the destruction of a major city, would he? Of course, he would. These are, after all, radical leftists we’re talking about. Nagel opines, “I think it was all part of a much greater scheme because he truly doesn’t like the police. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison has never liked the police. They have been involved with people who are defunding the police.”
Remember also that Walz’s wife Gwen has actually said that she kept her windows open during the riots so that she could inhale the sweet smell of The People fighting for justice: “Again we had more sleepless nights during the riots. I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”
Nor is Nagel the only person to make this charge against Walz. Rep. Pete Stauber (R-Minn.) declares, “Tim Walz let Minneapolis burn for three straight nights without doing anything. And he called the riots, he stated their actions were, this is a quote, ‘righteous anger.’ Hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to family businesses and buildings in Minneapolis.” As a result, Stauber said, the “vast majority” of Minnesota police officers remain “disgruntled” with their governor’s “lack of support.”
Nagel’s conclusion about Walz was devastating: “He’s power hungry,” Nagel said, and “he’s not doing this for the good of the people. He’s doing it for the good of himself, and he is going to be [in] lockstep with whatever the Democrats want, and I think it would be, just take a look at Minnesota, he’s ruined Minnesota along with this trifecta of the Democrats. Can you only imagine what he’s going to be able to do with your federal tax dollars? And when North Korea decides to knock on the door, he and his president, are they going to be able to actually handle a national crisis when he couldn’t handle a crisis in Minneapolis?” Given Walz’s far-left proclivities, if North Korea really did decide to “knock on the door,” the vice presidential candidate might well fling it open wide and give Kim Jong-un a hearty “Welcome, Comrade!”
The worst aspect of Walz’s consistently far-left record, however, is that none of this will get him dropped from the ticket. This is where the Democrat party is these days: a bit to the left of Joseph Stalin and nearly as determined as he was to destroy the capitalist order and crush all dissent. Tim Walz fits right in.
“Americas dad?”. Who in the hell came up with that? First time I heard it. Laughable.
Bill Cosby isn't using the title these days.
Their labels and memes as my children would say are ‘cringe.’
I wonder if Denton Walthall is still alive or if his ghost is giving campaign advice.
Kinda like ole “Uncle Joe” Stalin?
China’s Dad. Extremist Maoist Communist Marxist weirdo Waltz.
He makes Bernie Samders look mainstream.
LOL! How’s things in NM? Still crazy?
the marxist harris/walz ticket make
bernie, aoc and liz warren look like moderates
Well
He must have got that from Baltimore's mayor who'd said "we have to give them space to riot...."
America’s CAD is much more descriptive
Fox News reported that retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel knows the real
Tim Walz behind the propaganda smoke and mirrors, “he’s anti-police, pro-defund the police.
When you have police families, of an officer killed in the line of duty, tell the governor
“we don’t want you at the funeral,” that tells you what law enforcement feels about Walz.”
“America’s dad”? More like America’s creepy uncle.

At least with Gov. Kathleen Blanco, she let the people of New Orleans be flooded out of their homes and stranded in the city by Hurricane Katrina because she paralyzed by the fear doing something that would make President George W. Bush look good.

I thought Bill Cosby was America’s Dad. For a little while, anyway.
/s
How is this “shocking” as the tabloid worthy headline exclaims?
Crazy and stupid dangerous in places.
My Dad had a lot of class and wasn’t stupid like Tim is. He doesn’t even come close.
White Douches for Harris
