NFL Star Adam Thielen's Wife Trashes Tim Walz: 'Bad News'

Caitlin Thielen, the wife of former Minnesota Vikings receiver Adam Thielen, publicly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris's selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. In a post on X, Thielen expressed her discontent, stating that Walz has significantly harmed Minneapolis during his tenure, particularly in the wake of the George Floyd riots. She accused him of allowing the city to deteriorate and mismanaging taxpayer funds, claiming he has lost over half a billion dollars to scandals in recent years. Thielen's remarks reflect a broader disapproval of Walz's leadership, as she highlighted his controversial handling of various issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which she claims he blamed on youth sports. She framed the upcoming political landscape as a stark choice between "leftism and freedom," indicating her belief that Walz's governance represents a departure from the values she supports. In addition to Thielen's criticisms, Walz has faced scrutiny regarding his military service record, with allegations of "stolen valor." Reports suggest that he misrepresented his rank on his official biography, claiming a higher rank than he retired with, which has drawn ire from some veterans. During a recent speech, Walz also faced backlash for resorting to crude humor, referencing a false internet rumor about fellow politician JD Vance. His comments, which elicited cheers from the audience, have been criticized for lacking decorum and seriousness in political discourse.
