Kamala Doubles Down on Chaos with Tim Walz as V.P. Pick

August 6, 2024

ALBUQUERQUE - On August 6, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for President, announced that she has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to run as her Vice President.

This choice reveals that the Democratic Party prefers blind allegiance to their radical agenda over competence in leadership. Tim Walz, a non-swing state candidate, adds very little to the ticket. The decision not to choose Jewish Governor Josh Shapiro, who could have targeted the swing state of Pennsylvania, suggests that Harris and the DNC are more concerned about appeasing the antisemitic, pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.

Tim Walz has a lengthy political history as a radical progressive. He served six terms as a Minnesota U.S. representative before becoming governor. His leadership has been marked by incompetence and far-left extremism, providing a clear view of what he will bring to the Harris ticket.

- As governor, Tim Walz’s negligence enabled a massive fraud scheme, resulting in his state losing a quarter of a billion in federal funds intended to help hungry and needy children.

- Walz is an open-border, pro-illegal immigration Democrat who supports sanctuary cities and states. As governor, he signed legislation to use taxpayer dollars to pay for illegal immigrants’ healthcare and college tuition. He said if Trump builds a 25-foot wall, he “will invest in a 30-foot ladder factory.” He is also opposed to any voter I.D. laws.

- Walz is a defund-the-police, soft-on-crime progressive who sat back and let violent criminals burn down his state. Kamala Harris then helped raise money to bail those violent rioters out of prison.

- Walz favors radical climate policies that would kill the oil and gas jobs in New Mexico and ban gas-powered cars.

- As governor, Tim Walz proposed billions in new taxes and tried to increase the gas tax in his state by 70 percent.

- Walz holds the extreme view of abortion up to the moment of birth. He defunded crisis pregnancy centers, repealed a law giving life-saving care to infants who survived an abortion, and even advocated for a woman who drowned her newborn baby to walk free. Walz also signed an order allowing children to receive gender reassignment surgeries with no age limit.

- Walz is endorsed by the most extreme, anti-America activists, including Bernie SandersIlhan Omar, and the Squad.

“Tim Walz will be a rubber stamp for Harris and the Democratic Party’s far-left chaos,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “Walz will be out to destroy New Mexico’s energy sector, jobs and economy. Expect less money in your paycheck because as governor, Tim Walz proposed billions in new taxes, said he was proud to take on the label of a ‘big government liberal’ and claimed ‘socialism’ is as ‘neighborliness.’ Walz will not only continue the open border crisis, but he wants your tax dollars to pay for illegal immigrants’ health care and college tuition. If you think crime is bad now, just wait. As governor, Walz let Minneapolis burn to the ground during the George Floyd riots and supported a plan for alternatives to the police. Under his leadership, violent crime surged by 21% in his state.”

Pearce continued, “New Mexicans are sick of inflation, paying high gas prices, and seeing rampant crime in their neighborhoods fueled by the open border. Republicans are offering real solutions to the issues that hard-working families care about, and that’s why we’re seeing New Mexico become very competitive this year.”
