WATCH: Tim Walz makes stunning admission about Democrats dealing with Trump
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was Kamala Harris’ running mate in her failed 2024 Democrat presidential campaign, says Democrats knew what President Donald Trump would do if elected.
But they’re still off-balance simply because he is doing what they expected, he confirmed.
Trump has, in fact, delivered a multitude of executive orders that take aim directly at Joe Biden’s progressive and social agenda points, including an order halting transgender body mutilations for children, many orders launching a roundup of illegal alien criminals, pardons for J6 trespassers and much more.
Further, Trump has delivered new terrorism designations, banned DEI from government, declassified multitudes of files, appointed officials at breakneck speed, rescinded dozens of Biden’s actions, halted new regulations, frozen federal hiring, ordered federal workers back to the office, and offered them severance to leave, ordered agencies to address the cost of living, pulled America out of the Paris Agreement, pulled out of the World Health Organization, ordered an end to the weaponization of government, announced the name “Gulf of America,” created an agency to eliminate unnecessary government spending and lifted the security clearances for dozens of officials who falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop scandals were Russian disinformation.
“To the voters, I’m with this too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz said in an interview on MSNBC. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I’m, you know, soul-searching – what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.”
It is Fox News that reported on Walz interview:
Walz was asked for advice for “average people” who oppose Trump’s agenda, including those who fall into the group of people with “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“You know that overused term, ‘The frog in the boiling water?’ We’ve been in the damn pot way too long,” Walz claimed. “I think it is speaking up. It’s thinking about your neighbors. It’s writing and putting those members of Congress – look, there is no spine among those folks – but this is real.”
He complained about his own party’s obsession with things Trump, including Trump allies like tech billionaire Elon Musk.
He said it was a waste of time to debate whether Musk gave a “Nazi salute” at a recent rally, a claim that has been debunked over and over.
“Of course he did, but that is a distraction from what, I think you said it, this is ‘game on’ stuff right here. And I am worried with these federal employees because look, they’re in a tough spot, that some of these folks, especially those that are doing good work around environmental concerns, around justice for people, around, you know, criminal justice reform, all of the things that make our society better,” he said.
Trump, in fact, has targeted spending federal money and federal workers’ time on “environmental concerns, around justice for people” and more, charging that those social ideology campaigns are not something for the government to promote with taxpayer money.
Walz, whose scandals during the campaign included documentation that he once was arrested for drunken driving, said people should “stay focused.”
“Don’t take the bait on the distractions. Surround yourself with people who understand this, and recognize the things they went after today are basically a big chunk of what society does, and people like to have clean water, and hospitals, and safety, and roads, and airports, all the things that they are going after… We have to find that voice. We have to push back. We have to be organized.”
