- Right-wing social media was quick to agree with Gov. Walz’s recent rally remarks
MAGA world erupted in mockery of Gov. Tim Walz after he appeared to push a new party taking over the White House next year.
Walz told a crowd in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Saturday: ‘We can’t afford four more years of this.’
The line is usually reserved for candidates campaigning against an incumbent executive they are looking to oust and implement change. But in this case, current Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate are looking to take over for Democrat President Joe Biden.
‘Kamala is in office right now,’ one X user pointed out. ‘She’s the ‘this.’
Another user wrote: ‘I’m not sure if you know this Tim but your current running mate is kinda the VP.’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was mocked on right-wing Twitter for seeming to campaign for new leadership in the White House by saying at a Pennsylvania rally: ‘We can’t afford four more years of this’
‘When your opponent campaigns for you,’ a highly followed ‘America First’ account wrote on X, formerly Twitter, adding of the ‘four more years’ comment: ‘We agree, Timmy!’
Republicans often point to policies implemented by the Biden-Harris administration that the Party claims has led to a swift decline in the last four years.
Specifically, they point to economic policies and open border initiatives that have caused two of the biggest issues for voters this election cycle: the economy and inflation,
‘WALZ FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH: ‘We can’t afford four more years’ of Kamala Harris,’ the Trump War Room account wrote.
The Minnesota Governor made the remarks in the midst of a campaign rally in the battleground swing state of Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Walz was talking about steps he took to restrict firearm sales in his state: ‘Things like we did in Minnesota, to have enhanced background checks and red flag laws, to get guns out of there, to make a difference.’
‘And I still got my guns to go shoot pheasants in a couple weeks…’ he was saying before he strayed off to address a rally goer who appeared to need medical attention.
Candidates advocating for change usually comes by a challenge to an incumbent. But Walz’s running mate Kamala Harris is the one leading the 2024 Democratic ticket and she is currently vice president to President Joe Biden
‘We need some water, can we get [a] check on him?’ the vice presidential nominee said, pointing to someone in the audience.
A few minutes later, Walz went back to the state of the race and started wrapping his stump speech by criticizing Trump and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance.
‘I’ll bring her home here quick, folks,’ the Democrat said. ‘Look, Kamala Harris made it clear these guys want to instill fear. They want to tell you… just get over it, it’s a fact of life. This is the way it is.’
‘[Harris] simply has said it doesn’t have to be this way,’ he went on. ‘It doesn’t have to be this way.’
‘We can’t afford four more years of this,’ he concluded.
