Tim Walz Encourages Bullying
Wannabe tough guy Tim Walz encourages Democrats to bully Trump. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. The loving and tolerant Left is back at it with their uplifting and unifying message. Just kidding. Instead, as the keynote speaker for the Democratic Party state convention in South Carolina, failed VP candidate and current Minnesota Governor Tim Walz told his fellow party members to, 'be a little meaner, a little bit more fierce.' He then went on to baselessly call President Trump a bully and encouraged his party to 'bully him back.' He added an expletive in there too, just to keep up his image of being all rough and tumble! In reality, Tim Walz is the furthest thing from intimidating, physically and politically! Even so, his message is incredibly inappropriate and reckless. President Trump has had TWO close attempts on his life. For Walz, or anyone else who considers themselves a political leader, to continue to label him an 'existential threat' or 'wannabe dictator' or worse, encourage bullying, is why we are in the political climate we are in. Political violence doesn't just spring up out of nowhere. Tim Walz should be ashamed and embarrassed of himself! I'm embarrassed just looking at him!
