Tim Walz got hit with this damning indictment that he will never recover from
Tim Walz had a rough go of it during his debate with J.D. Vance.
Even his staunchest allies couldn’t defend him.
And Tim Walz got hit with this damning indictment that he will never recover from.
Tim Walz’s debate performance compared to Joe Biden’s
No less than Linsey Davis – the pro-Democrat moderator who helped rig the ABC debate against former President Donald Trump – panned Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s performance comparing it to the career-ending turn on stage for President Joe Biden at the June 27 debate.
“I feel like that was really effective. But I think overall tonight, if you’re an undecided voter in America, I don’t know that you come away tonight with additional clarity. It kind of reminded me of the June 27th debate when Kamala Harris that night said of Joe Biden it was a slow start, but a strong finish,” Davis stated.
Davis lampooned Walz’s presentation as “weird” and “cringey.”
“And that’s how it felt Tim Walz kind of did tonight. You know, to use Tim Walz’s own words, I mean, a lot about this debate tonight was weird. There were uncomfortable, cringey moments,” Davis continued.
How it all went wrong for Tim Walz
Tim Walz looked nervous from the word go.
A stammering Walz could barely deliver a coherent answer to the first question of the night by turning a query about the Iranian missile strike on Israel into a tirade about crowd sizes at Trump’s rallies.
It only got worse from there.
The moderators asked Walz about his lie that he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests when he was really at home in America.
His initial response was that everyone knew he grew up in a small Nebraska town where the kids rode their bikes all day and that he was a “knucklehead.”
The moderators asked a follow-up and Walz hawked up a world salad that would have embarrassed Vice President Kamala Harris.
“No. All I said on this was, is, I got there that summer and misspoke on this, so I will just, that’s what I’ve said. So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest, went in, and from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance,” Walz replied.

That was cringey.
He got weird when he claimed to be pals with school shooters.
“I’ve become friends with school shooters,” Walz blurted out.
The media panics
NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker later revealed that panicked Democrats blew up her phone with text messages during the debate.
“Sen. JD Vance clearly knew his challenge was to deal with the likability factor. The fact that in our poll, he’s the second most disliked running mate in history. So I was getting texts from Democrats panicked, quite frankly, who were saying, ‘Wow, he’s really moderating himself on these issues. He’s the most likable he’s ever been,'” Welker said on-air.
When the media is saying a Democrat bombed in a debate, that is how Americans know it’s a political catastrophe.
