'Colossal mistake': MAGA reacts swiftly to Kamala Harris' VP pick
The MAGA world responded quickly to Kamala Harris's pick of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as running mate by highlighting past comments they trashed as "liberal" or "socialist."
Former Donald Trump campaign staffer-turned-foe A.J. Delgado responded to Harris picking Walz by saying, "She's not going to win."
"Quirky uncle who says 'socialism is just being neighborly,'" she posted, using a previous quote from Walz. "The appeal of this ticket was youth, and she goes and picks... Walz. Not even Beshear, much less Shapiro."
"Harris just made the SAME mistake Trump made — a VP pick that her base demanded, versus the candidate that appealed to the center/moderates that you need to bring in to win," Delgado said. "Walz is just as liberal, if not more so, than Harris. What a colossal mistake."
"Neighborliness killed members of my family," posted Karol Markowicz, a columnist for Fox News and the New York Post, on X when she learned Walz was being considered.
"There’s nothing neighborly about socialism. Good luck selling that in my very Cuban neighborhood, dude," said conservative Katie Glenn Daniel.

"Tim Walz did nothing while Minneapolis burned," said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), referencing the 2020 protests that erupted after a police officer killed George Floyd.
"He sat back while the rioters that Kamala would bail out burned down a city," Greene continued. "Even the liberal mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, criticized Tim Walz’s response to the riots. President Trump is the law & order candidate America needs!"
"It is amazing that Vice President Harris had a chance to move toward the center, pick her Governor of Pennsylvania whose 19 electoral vogues (sic) could easily be the margin of victory and who is closer to the center than she is and skipped him, in part because of anti-Semitic opposition from the pro-Palestinian wing of the Democratic Party, for a hard left Governor of Minnesota who had been endorsed by Bernie Sanders," said former Speaker Newt Gingrich on X.
"We learned a lot about her in that process. Avoid conflict, appease the left."
