Considering that Harris’ entire political career has consisted of being an unqualified token minority, it’s only fitting that her running mate is an unqualified token white guy.
"To balance out her being a DEI hire, Kamala Harris needed a regular white guy as her running mate. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party doesn’t have any of those, so Harris chose Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota. At the debate this week, the main function Walz served was to remind us that some white men are mediocre. The media have been doing their level best to convince us that Walz is a salt-of-the-earth, white male, Trump-voting archetype.
"This is a man who was so terrified of a virus that is less dangerous than the flu to 70% of the population, that he ordered his entire state locked-down, masked-up and unschooled for a solid year. Walz’s COVID restrictions continued long after even blockheads had figured out that the lockdowns accomplished nothing beyond destroying businesses, lives and children’s developing brains, dragging on through at least three different styles of useless paper face masks.
"Hoping to distract from his party’s hatred of working-class white men, Walz incessantly boasts that he’s a “unionman,” as if he’s Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront.” But he wasn’t a coal miner, a truck driver or steelworker. He was a teacher, meaning he spent up to eight hours a day in a comfortable, temperature-controlled classroom, couldn’t be fired and got summers off.
"Walz obviously knows what an unimpressive figure he cuts, otherwise, he wouldn’t be constantly telling petty, image-boosting lies about himself.
"He has, for example, come up with a million different ways of implying he served in combat in Afghanistan. In 2004, he held a sign for John Kerry that said, “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry.” Similarly, in 2006, his congressional campaign literature described him as an “Operation Enduring Freedom veteran.” . . .
