In an ideal world, you’d think MAGA supporters would be thrilled about a political opponent’s supposed blunder. Yet, they are seething with anger over Kamala Harris’s selection of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, deriding him as a ‘colossal mistake’ and dredging up past comments they once labeled as “liberal” or “socialist.”
A.J. Delgado, a former Donald Trump campaign staffer turned critic, expressed her disdain by declaring, “She’s not going to win.”
“Quirky uncle who says ‘socialism is just being neighborly,'” she posted, referencing a previous quote from Walz. “The appeal of this ticket was youth, and she goes and picks… Walz. Not even Beshear, much less Shapiro.”
“Harris just made the SAME mistake Trump made — a VP pick that her base demanded, versus the candidate that appealed to the center/moderates that you need to bring in to win,” Delgado added. “Walz is just as liberal, if not more so, than Harris. What a colossal mistake.”
Fox News and New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz also voiced her frustration on X, saying, “Neighborliness killed members of my family,” in response to Walz’s selection.
Conservative Katie Glenn Daniel chimed in, “There’s nothing neighborly about socialism. Good luck selling that in my very Cuban neighborhood, dude.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Walz for his handling of the 2020 protests, stating, “Tim Walz did nothing while Minneapolis burned.”
“He sat back while the rioters that Kamala would bail out burned down a city,” Greene continued. “Even the liberal mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, criticized Tim Walz’s response to the riots. President Trump is the law & order candidate America needs!”
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich also weighed in on X, saying, “It is amazing that Vice President Harris had a chance to move toward the center, pick her Governor of Pennsylvania whose 19 electoral vogues (sic) could easily be the margin of victory and who is closer to the center than she is and skipped him, in part because of anti-Semitic opposition from the pro-Palestinian wing of the Democratic Party, for a hard left Governor of Minnesota who had been endorsed by Bernie Sanders.”
“We learned a lot about her in that process. Avoid conflict, appease the left,” Gingrich concluded.
