The Walz variations
Powerline ^ | October 7, 2024 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 10/07/2024 3:35:36 PM PDT by T Ruth

Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz appeared on a segment of Fox News Sunday for an interview by Shannon Bream yesterday. I have posted the video at the bottom.

The interview was notable insofar as it constituted Walz’s first appearance on one of the Sunday morning gabfests since he was named Kamala Harris’s running mate. Walz’s continuing lies and evasions are of interest in themselves, but his appearance on Fox News Sunday suggests that the old Obama hands managing Harris’s campaign do not necessarily believe that the campaign is going swimmingly.

The whole thing is worth watching. I don’t think anyone could have done better than Bream did here. She was well prepared and treated Walz in a manner to which he is not accustomed in Minnesota. He has never sat for an interview of this nature by any member of the Minnesota media. Led by the Star Tribune, the Minnesota media constitute Walz’s circle of love. ...

Walz is a compulsive liar on matters large, small, and in between. He is a fast-talking con man. He’s talking as fast as he can.

When it comes to Israel, however, the cat has his tongue. Walz is evasive. Asked whether Israel had the right to strike Iranian oil facilities or nuclear facilities, Walz responded that “specific operations will be dealt with at the time.”

… RealClearPolitics has posted a transcript of Walz’s response to Bream’s closing question on a few of Walz’s “misstatements,” as she diplomatically calls them. It doesn’t take him long to get to his salesman’s tell: “I have to be honest with you, Shannon.” See how honest he is.

Walz is a stain on the honor of Noncommissioned Officer Corps.

Picking Walz was Kamala’s first major decision as a
prez wannabe.......and it was a monumental mistake.

Neither of them are ready for prime time.

It may not have been her choice.

She may have been told to do that.

Tim Walz is one of those politicians who, to me, appears like the very tip of a glacier. All we the public see now, is the tip, but there is a great deal more, ominously lurking beneath the surface.
He has the manner of someone who has to constantly watch what he says in private and in public.

That was interesting to watch the entire 16 minutes, he doesn’t answer anything, nothing at all.

It had been been mentioned early on that Walz was Obama’s choice.

Side issue. I didn’t watch any TV news for about five years or so. Seeing Shannon Bream now she doesn’t look like she gained an ounce from her early days. That must take a lot of diet and exercise. Age 53 (Dana Perino 52).

In 1991 she was Miss Virginia and the fourth semi-finalist for Miss America. Played Chopin on the piano as her talent. Then in 1995 Miss USA.

Her first job was working for her mother’s company scraping paint off windows and door frames for renovating houses.
Earned a Juris Doctorate law degree. Brit Hume encouraged her to make an audition tape and take it to Fox News where she was hired. Asked about ever having a crush she named Rick Schroder of Silver Spoons and NYPD Blue.
