Kamala Harris proved that she is no strategic genius.  The right choice of running mate could have aided her campaign, making it easier for the Democrats to steal the upcoming presidential election. 

Josh Shapiro is the candidate she should have chosen.  This satirical  headline perfectly captures the reason why Shapiro was not selected by Kamala: Democrats Worried Choosing Jewish Vice President May Cost Them The All-Important “Death To America” Vote | Babylon Bee

The running mate Kamala Harris actually selected, Tim Walz, is just as much a radical leftist as she is.  This Town Hall article documents some of Governor Walz’s most extreme left wing positions.

Tim Walz absolutely loves transgenderism.

In April 2023, Walz signed a law that turned Minnesota into a “transgender sanctuary state.” House File 146 “prevents state courts or officials from complying with child removal requests, extraditions, arrests, or subpoenas related to gender-affirming health care that a person receives in Minnesota.” This gave state courts the power to take kids away if parents don’t sign off on so-called “gender-affirming” surgical procedures, allowing the state to have temporary emergency jurisdiction over the child.

Governor Walz is an avid Marxist.

Walz, who was the choice of democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), sees socialism as akin to “neighborliness.”

“Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values,” the Bernie-backed candidate said on an on-camera “White Dudes for Harris” fundraiser call last week. “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”

Tim Walz is a such a rabid supporter of Black Lives Matter that he let Minneapolis burn.

When radical Black Lives Matter militants rioted over George Floyd’s death, Walz waited days to call in the National Guard. Walz’s soft-on-crime response to the George Floyd riots allowed anti-police extremists to burn down a police station in Minneapolis and inflict $500 million in property damage. Walz himself even admitted the “abject failure” of his handling of the BLM uprising.

He made Minnesota a virtual gulag during the COVID pandemic.

Walz was a COVID-19 militant. As governor, he issued a memorandum mandating indoor masking and set up a hotline to report residents who violated COVID-19 mandates. Walz refused to take the hotline down when asked to do so.

As of April 1, 2020, the state received approximately 500 reports of “suspected violations” of Walz’s stay-at-home executive order. The number one report was of businesses that remained open when they “should [have been] closed.” Bars and restaurants that violated Walz’s guidelines ordering their closure faced criminal and civil penalties for continuing on-site sale operations. Businesses that didn’t cooperate were reported to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Alcohol Gambling Enforcement Division, and law enforcement was dispatched to investigate complaints.

Like all Democrats, Tim Walz loves illegal immigrants more than citizens.

In 2023, Walz signed the “North Star Promise,” a scholarship program that gives low-income applicants, including illegal aliens, a full tuition-free ride to public Minnesota colleges and universities, as he hiked taxes on residents despite the state’s $17.5 billion surplus. Illegal aliens can also enroll in MinnesotaCare, the state’s publicly subsidized insurance program. An estimated 40,000 illegal aliens residing unlawfully in Minnesota meet the program’s requirements.

Last year, Walz signed a bill into law allowing anyone in Minnesota, regardless of immigration status, to obtain a driver’s license, including illegal aliens. This meant proof of citizenship or lawful presence in the United States was no longer required to receive one in the state. At the time, approximately 81,000 illegals were living in Minnesota. 

When It comes to abortion, Tim Walz is just as extreme as Kamala.

At the beginning of 2023, Walz enshrined the “right” to abortion without limits into Minnesota statute through the “Protect Reproductive Options Act,” an abortion-up-to-birth bill designed to shield the state’s existing statutes from future Supreme Court decisions.

He is also a climate change alarmist.

In 2022, Walz announced Minnesota’s Climate Action Framework, a 69-page plan that calls for the state to transition to “100% carbon-free electricity” by 2040. To accelerate the transition, the state will “Provide financial incentives to BIPOC and low-income community organizers to educate about EVs.”

If elected, Tim Walz will aid Kamala Harris in her crusade against the Second Amendment, VP Pick Tim Walz Supports Biden-Harris’s Big 3 Gun Control Policies (breitbart.com)

Democrat Vice Presidential pick Tim Walz wants the three central gun controls that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have spent years pushing in Washington, DC.

Those controls–an “assault weapons” ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws–have been pushed time and again by Biden and/or Harris at every opportunity, including those in which the gun controls had absolutely nothing to do with the events that led to their mention.
