As RedState reported earlier, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has made her vice presidential pick, choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in an apparent bid to appease the Hamas Caucus wing of the Democrat Party.
In the week prior to Harris’ pick, it had been widely speculated that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was who she had decided on, speculation that ramped up Friday after the person running the Twitter/X campaign account for Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker tweeted “Proud to be back with so many leaders from across our region supporting @KamalaHarris for President and @JoshShapiroPA for VP!”
It was later clarified, however, that the tweet was merely “Parker’s endorsement to show her support for Pennsylvania’s governor,” not a premature VP announcement.

As one would expect, Republican politicos and commentators alike are already reacting to the news, showing no mercy towards Walz and his radical left-wing positions:
Harris-Walz: most left-wing ticket in American history.
Minnesota was ground zero for the BLM riots of 2020. Harris egged it on and Walz sat by and let Minneapolis burn.

From GOP Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN):
“It’s not surprising @KamalaHarris picked Tim Walz to be her running mate — he embodies the same disastrous economic, open-borders, and soft-on-crime policies Harris has inflicted on our country the last four years.
Walz is an empty suit who has worked to turn Minnesota into Harris’ home state of California, and solidifies this ticket’s full embrace of a radical, America-last agenda.”

The last time Harris and Walz teamed up was when he allowed rioters to burn down half of Minneapolis and then she raised money to bail them out.

Tim Walz refused to add state police resources to quell progressive rioters.
He closed churches during COVID and reopened bars but refused to reopen churches.
He taxes retiree social security income.
He attempted an income tax hike during COVID
He kept kids locked out of public…— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 6, 2024
