Tim Walz’s Controversial Comments Spark Outrage
Tim Walz is making headlines, but not for the right reasons. The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate has gotten into a public spat with billionaire Elon Musk over Musk’s support for former President Donald Trump. Last week, Walz went so far as to call Musk a “dips***,” according to Fox News.
A Misguided Insult in Detroit
During a campaign event in Detroit on Friday, Walz stirred up social media after he seemed to imply that Musk, who has 12 children, is homosexual. It was clear he meant it as an insult.
Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong shared the video clip and asked, “What did he even mean by this?”
The Context of His Remarks
Walz was discussing the economy when he shifted gears to criticize tax cuts for billionaires like Musk. He stumbled through his words: “If you’re a billionaire, Elon Musk for example, say, that gah … , that gay got …” before snickering and adding, “Michigan knows that word.” He then claimed that while Musk benefited from tax cuts, regular folks were left behind.
(You can watch the full video of this awkward moment here. The comments about being “gay” come around the 6:30 mark.)
A Slip of the Tongue?
It seems likely that Walz didn’t intend to label Musk as “gay.” His jumbled sentence suggests he meant to say something more straightforward like “that guy got.” But instead of clarifying himself immediately after stumbling over his words, he leaned into what many interpreted as a slur.
Musk’s Personal Life Under Scrutiny
If there were any truth to Walz’s insinuation about Musk’s sexuality, we probably wouldn’t need Tim Walz to spill those beans. With twelve kids and relationships with high-profile figures like actress Amber Heard, it’s safe to say any rumors would have surfaced long ago.
Musk has built his success on being unapologetically himself; hiding anything would be out of character for him.
The Fallout from Walz’s Comments
This incident adds another layer of embarrassment for Democrats already struggling with their messaging. From controversies surrounding his alleged “stolen valor” claims and embellishing military service records to questionable statements about family matters,
Walz’s gaffes are piling up fast.
Kamal Harris’ Choice Backfires?
The worst part? Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate! She passed over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro—likely trying not to offend anti-Semites within her party—to choose this guy who can’t seem to keep his foot out of his mouth.
A Boorish Running Mate?
This isn’t just bad news for Harris; it reflects poorly on her judgment overall. If she ever needs someone else in charge due to unforeseen circumstances (heaven forbid), it’s Tim Walz stepping up!
The Stakes Are High!
If you’re voting Democrat this election cycle without realizing you’re also endorsing Tim Walz—think again! This is someone who hasn’t made a smart move since entering politics—and there’s no sign he’ll start anytime soon.
God help us all if he’s ever anywhere near the White House alone!
