Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a known associate of Vice President Kamala Harris, recently attempted to portray himself as an average American citizen with a penchant for used cars and a disdain for former President Donald Trump.
However, his effort was met with considerable backlash.
In a video titled "The Manuel with Tim Walz," released on Friday, the governor can be seen tinkering with his 1979 International Harvester Scout. As reported by Gateway Pundit, during the video, Walz launched an unfounded attack on Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), accusing them of being linked to Project 2025. This proposal, originating from the Heritage Foundation, has been categorically rejected by the Trump campaign.
In the video, Walz is seen standing over the engine of his vehicle, hood open, and remarks, All right. This thing, old school carburetor. You can always tell something about somebodys maintenance when how clean their air filter is. He goes on to draw a parallel between his car manual and the alleged political strategy of Trump and Vance, stating, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have a manual, too. Its called Project 2025, and its a way to stick it to the middle class while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest."
Walz further criticizes the supposed intentions behind Project 2025, saying, Look, they didnt give me a manual for this if you didnt plan on using it to fix your truck. They didnt create that Project 2025 just to have it sit around as a doorstop. He concludes his monologue by warning his viewers about the alleged economic manipulations of Trump and Vance, asserting, We know who these guys are. We know they got a playbook to rig the economy. Lets make sure it doesnt.
However, Walz's attempt to connect with the public and criticize the Republican ticket was met with a wave of criticism on social media. Users highlighted his history of dishonesty regarding his military service, his controversial mandate for schools to supply tampons for boys, and a satirical meme about a bizarre incident involving horse semen. Critics also pointed out that despite his lengthy monologue, Walz failed to actually repair anything on his vehicle. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of authenticity and truthfulness in political discourse.
