Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN) recently appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and made some pointed remarks regarding Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) and his public image.
Criticizing Walz’s performance as governor, Emmer suggested there was a distinct disparity between the governor's congenial public persona and the reception of his policies by Minnesotans.
During the interview, Emmer said, “Tim’s been a complete disaster in Minnesota, and what’s happened is he’s so good at being this folksy, nice, kind of down-to-earth guy until people get to know him and his policies.”

Emmer went on to question the genuine popularity of Governor Walz by bringing attention to Walz’s electoral history within his congressional district. “I don’t know if you know this, but his whole congressional district where he played this character for several years of being kind of a folksy, AG-friendly outdoorsman, he lost it in both of his gubernatorial races, and the last one almost by ten points. He’s not well liked because once you get to know the real Tim Walz, he’s like Gavin Newsom in a flannel shirt.”
This comment juxtaposed the progressive policies of California Governor Newsom with the perception of Walz as an outdoorsman.
The conversation on the program also included discussion of the upcoming gubernatorial race, where Representative Emmer expressed his belief that the Republican vice-presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), would perform effectively against Governor Walz.
From Emmer's perspective, Vance is positioned to capitalize on a variety of issues that could resonate with voters, particularly highlighting the strengths of the previous administration. “I can tell you he’s got the issues on his side,” Emmer remarked. “He can talk about the economy that Donald Trump fixed and that Harris and Biden broke. He can talk about the border that Trump fixed, and that they broke. He can talk about peace and stability around the world which they don’t even have a clue.”

Additionally, while appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," political analyst Scott Jennings provided another voice of criticism against Governor Walz.

Jennings referred to the governor as a "buffoon" and highlighted an interview where Walz faced tough questions about the veracity of his resume. “Walz is a buffoon. I'm sorry, this guy, he's the only school teacher in America who brags that none of his students can get into an Ivy League school. He's had one consequential press interaction with our Dana Bash, who asked him about the fabrications in his own resume, and his answer was essentially, me, no, understand words good,” stated Jennings.

This harsh critique from Jennings, combined with Representative Emmer’s perspective, paints a challenging picture for Governor Walz as he continues to navigate the political landscape of Minnesota amid significant opposition.

What is hard to comprehend is the DNC picking this as a qualified candidate to be the VP of the USA!!!!!!! That goes for Harris also.
Pretty simple, really. They had to find someone who was not a threat to Kamala. That’s a pretty low bar, and they found someone who would fit under it.
they don’t plan on playing fair and will their way to victory in Nov unfortunately
In a well, non-drugged and educated normal society or country both of them would be laughed out of public life or working at a local convenience store.
DEMs are planning to cheat big time again ? So, they can put low hanging fruits on the ballot, kind of mocking us, the voters ?

He has said so, himself! why do Americans want Communism? you have to believe that those people are insane! maybe they should be moved to a Communist country so they can decide for themselves! leave the rest of us who love our freedom, rights and country ALONE!!!
we don’t want to pay for your abortions, we don’t want to pay for your wars, we don’t want to pay for your trans-operations, we don’t want to pay for disposal of your EV batteries! we don’t want any of it!!! GET OUT!
Are CNN and ABC trying to atone for all the damage they have done to our country the last few years with their lies or do they see the handwriting on the wall in this election and want to be on the winning side?
Here’s hoping it’s not a false hope when guys like Emmer and Jennings (and others) speak the truth, hope that enough voters see through the fog and fraud.
