- Rep. Tom Emmer criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, labeling him as incompetent during a radio segment.
- Emmer discussed Walz's perceived attempt to project a moderate image despite his radical policies.
- The exchange highlights ongoing political tension in Minnesota between Democratic and Republican leaders.
In a recent appearance on the Guy Benson Show, Congressman Tom Emmer, the House Majority Whip from Minnesota, expressed strong criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Emmer characterized Walz as a "Democrat radical" who is being misrepresented as a moderate candidate. He highlighted several controversial policies Walz has supported, including pro-sex change operations for minors and his inaction during the 2020 riots in Minneapolis. Emmer further elaborated on Walz's policies, arguing that they contradict the notion of moderation. He pointed out that Walz supports allowing biological males to compete in girls' sports and has made Minnesota a "trans refuge state." Emmer described these actions as indicative of a radical leftist agenda rather than a centrist approach, stating, “This is insanity. That’s a radical lefty. Not a moderate.” Additionally, Emmer speculated on why Harris did not choose Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, despite his popularity in a key swing state. He suggested that Shapiro's appeal may not align with the broader Democratic strategy, although he did not elaborate on specific reasons. The discussion underscored the ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party as it prepares for the upcoming election cycle.
