Harris VP watch (1 Viewer)

[Incumbent]

This topic is spread out across threads. Think it would be helpful to have some focused discussion while we await a decision.

I’m warming up to Shapiro and I like his message in this clip. It’s a fundamental contrast to what Trump offers.

There are still big social media accounts pushing lies about Walz. Thankfully it doesn’t seem to have much traction, but posting this in case anyone gets questions from people about these lies.

Breaking News!!!

Nicholas Kruge is a liar.

For what it’s worth
=============

Back in 2016, Jeff Walz donated to Donald Trump’s campaign.

Now, eight years on, the 67-year-old’s brother Tim Walz is taking on the former president having joined Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic party’s 2024 ticket.

And Jeff Walz appears to be far from happy with his sibling’s political aspirations.


In Facebook posts, first seen and published by The New York Post, Jeff Walz said that he’s “100% opposed” to his sibling’s political ideology” and even told other social media users that he is “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”

“I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology,” he wrote in a post on Friday evening about the Minnesota governor.

Jeff Walz even went as far as to hint that he would be open to publicly endorsing Trump in the presidential race.

When a fellow Facebook account urged him to “get on stage with President Trump and endorse him,” Jeff responded: “I’ve thought long and hard about doing something like that! I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it.”

He added: “The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”……..

It's not worth anything at all.

If anything, it makes me question Jeff's character! He's a man that chose to disparage his own sibling based off of ideological differences and champion a convicted felon that has been found liable for sexual assault, nvmd the multiple other felonious charges trump has been indicted of committing.

To me, Jeff's words are less than worthless.

Flock Jeff Walz. He’s an idiot for even entertaining a thought that Trump is competent to be president.

Yeah, I'll take the reaction of his son at the convention as a confirmation of Tim Walz's character over that of his bother who stole from Walmart and is a Trump supporter.

His brother must be that crazy uncle at Thanksgiving Walz was talking about.

Well, Jeff. Tell 'em. Go ahead.
Cheato's siblings have done it. In detail. Exactly why he's categorically unfit to hold any position of public trust.
What's more, Cheato hasn't sued them. Interesting, that.
Could you do that, Jeff? Could you tell these tales without losing a lawsuit?

Fair's fair. If Mary Trump can do it, you ought to be able to, also.

WASHINGTON — The House Education and Workforce Committee issued subpoenas Wednesday to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for how they responded to what federal prosecutors have called the largest pandemic fraud schemes in the country.

The subpoenas, obtained first by NBC News, demand that Walz, Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Agriculture Inspector General Phyllis Fong turn over documents concerning oversight of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which is alleged to have misused millions of dollars intended to feed children during the pandemic.

Walz's record has faced new scrutiny since Vice President Kamala Harris tapped him as her running mate last month, though this new request by the Republican-led committee is part of an investigative effort that goes back to 2022.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., the committee chair, wrote in a letter to Walz that the committee is requesting this information to show "the extent of your responsibilities and actions addressing the massive fraud that resulted in the abuse of taxpayer dollars intended for hungry children."

According to a June state audit report, the Minnesota Education Department failed to properly oversee Feeding Our Future, saying the department's "actions and inactions created opportunities for fraud."……..

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A sister of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz says she doesn’t recognize the people wearing “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump” T-shirts in a photo that is making the rounds on social media. It turns out they are distant cousins…..

“The picture is real. The shirts are real. We are the Nebraska Walz family and we are related to Gov. Tim Walz, our grandfathers were brothers. The message on the shirts speaks for itself, “Nebraska Walzs for Trump.”

Walz’s sister, Sandy Dietrich, of Alliance, Nebraska, said she suspected it might be people from that branch of the family.

Dietrich and Walz’s father, James Walz, died of lung cancer in 1984 when the future congressman and Minnesota governor was just a teenager. His father had been the school superintendent in Valentine, Nebraska.

“We weren’t close with them. We didn’t know them,” she said.……

Looks like the brother was told to put up or shut up

And what he put up was so lame you wonder why he made the comment in the first place

(Other than to bask in the glow of MAGA love for a few days)

“This one time when he was 8 he farted on my dinner! Do you want someone like that to be vice president?!”

Oh and I love his “people assumed there was something else”

Like he wasn’t the one implying there was something else “oh the stories I could tell”
==================

…….In recent days, the New York Post has reported on Facebook comments from the governor’s older brother, Jeff Walz of Freeport, Florida, in which he said of his younger sibling:

“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.” The 67-year-old also wrote that he was “100% opposed to all his ideology” and had thought about endorsing Trump, the Post reported.

In comments published Wednesday by NewsNation,Jeff Walz said that he was still irked he learned on the radio that his brother would be Harris’ running mate, but that he didn’t intend to influence the political debate and doesn’t want to be involved with anybody’s campaign.

Jeff Walz told NewsNation that he and the 60-year-old governor have not spoken since the funeral of their younger brother, Craig Walz, in 2016, aside from a brief phone call last month through their mother. He told NewsNation that what he was referring to in his post by “stories” were from their childhood.

“Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff Walz said. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”……..

Hell, I have first cousins that voted for Trump. We all likely have relatives that do stupid things.

This is the biggest nothing burger ever. The family members in the photo was from a great uncle and the sister said they haven’t even met them before.

Which underscores the whole pile of schlitz that the media has become especially social media.

Car sickness, distant cousins he’s never met vs school shootings are a inevitable part of life, childless cat ladies and apparently has never had a donut before

Even the couch thing stuck

Looking forward to this debate

And at the same time Trump was bragging about now he owned the tallest building in New York (which I'm pretty sure wasn't true)
=======================================================

When word reached Room 114 at Mankato West High School that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center, Tim Walz was beginning his geography class with the usual discussion of current events.

“He was one of the teachers who had a TV in his room, so he turned the news on, and we just followed what was happening the rest of the class period,” Megan Reeves recalled to the Daily Beast about that September morning during her sophomore year.

“I remember being confused. What was going on in the world when I was 15 wasn’t at the top of my list of things that I truly cared about all that much.”

That quickly began to change as Reeves and the rest of the class watched the North Tower burn on a wall mounted 17-inch TV in a Minnesota town 1,230 miles away. They saw a second plane appear and fly into the South Tower.

“That kind of hyped everybody up a little bit more, made it more serious, a little bit more scary, and [Walz] just stayed calm the entire time,” she recalled. “I remember him reassuring us that we were the strongest country in the world and we shouldn’t worry because we were safe at that moment in time.”

Reeves added, “I guess I was a little scared. We’d learned about wars in class… And this is like the first time when I’m alive.

“But I remember feeling also very safe and protected being in his classroom, because he was so calm about it, whereas the students were freaking out a little bit.”

Reeves says she was further steadied by the knowledge that Walz was in the Wisconsin National Guard. She figures this was partly the reason students who were not in the class came into his room. They included Keenan Robbins, a senior who had been in study hall when he first learned of the history-altering events of that morning. .

“A friend of ours came in and said, ‘Hey, you know, this crazy thing has happened, let’s go check it out.’”

He and several fellow seniors passed other classrooms that had TVs, but continued on to Room 114.

“I think it’s not by chance that we ended up in Mr Walz’s room that morning,” Robbins said. “Of the handful of seniors who ended up there, none of us were technically in his class that morning, but we knew we’d get an honest assessment of a complex situation and we knew he wouldn’t ask us ‘where are you supposed to be right now?’"..............
