With Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joining the Democrat ticket, we officially have two Marxists running for our nation’s top offices. Known as “Tampon Tim” since he signed an executive order to have TAMPON dispensers (and related menstrual period items) placed in boys bathrooms throughout the state, Walz also refused to call in the National Guard when Minneapolis was burning during the George Floyd riots. Some key facts about radical Tim Walz:

• Allowed Minneapolis to burn during the George Floyd Riots by doing little to stop the violence and rampage. Walz refused to call in the National Guard. The rioting resulted in HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in losses with more than 60 percent of the losses uninsured.
• During the riots, his wife kept their windows open so she could smell Minneapolis burning. This is true; it is NOT a joke. In an interview, Gwen Walz said: “I could smell the burning tires…I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening."
• Walz allowed the new Minnesota state flag to resemble the Somalia flag. (Note: Due to the public outcry about some finalist versions, the flag selected was toned down, but the resemblance is there.)
• Walz honeymooned in China. He speaks some Chinese and has traveled to the communist nation about 30 times. Do you know who else honeymooned in a communist country? Bernie Sanders went to the Soviet Union.
• COVID nursing home scandal like what happened in New York State with Democrat Governor Cuomo.
• Walz was one of the most aggressive lockdown governors.
• Walz does not support building a wall to keep out illegals.
• Walz has made Minnesota a groomer-friendly state. (And we don’t mean grooming dogs.) - In 2023, Walz signed a law putting TAMPON DISPENSERS and other related products in all BOYS bathrooms for grades 4 to 12.
• In April 2023, Walz signed the so-called “Trans Refuge” bill into law in prohibiting the enforcement of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for people who travel to the North Star State from other states for gender-affirming care.
• A month earlier, Walz signed an executive order protecting gender-affirming care in Minnesota, including puberty blockers, surgeries and hormone therapy. The EO called upon state agencies not to approve health insurance plans that didn’t cover gender-affirming operations.
• Promotes youth trans surgery and the “hormone therapy” agenda.
• Questions abound whether Walz went AWOL regarding his Minnesota National Guard deployment to Iraq. Some claim Walz went “A-WALZ” and quit the Guard to avoid active duty just as his unit was shipping out.
• Walz always claimed he retired from the Minnesota National Guard as a command sergeant major—it’s on his official gubernatorial biography. He held the title TEMPORARILY but was DEMOTED to master sergeant. Liar, liar … pants on fire!
• He signed legislation giving free college for families earning less than $80,000 annually.
• DUI in 1995; driving 96-mph in a 55-mph zone.
• Walz regularly praises socialism. 

The question you should be asking is what in the world is wrong with the minds of the people of Minnesota?
