From Fox News: A visibly shaky Gov. Tim Walz had a tough start to the vice presidential debate, pausing and stumbling over his words as he spoke about the need for “steady leadership” from the White House.
Walz got caught up in his words as he answered a question about the Middle East and attacks on Israel by Iran. As he did so, he aimed his response at former President Donald Trump.
“What’s fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter. It’s clear, and the world saw it on that debate stage a few weeks ago, a nearly 80 year old Donald Trump talking about crowd sizes is not what we need in this moment,” he said.

“Hamas terrorists massacred over 1,400 Israelis on October 7, and Iran’s ability to defend itself is fundamental.

Walz tried to blame Iran’s surge on Donald Trump:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote, “Tim Walz said we need “steady leadership” to fix this mess–but Kamala is in charge today! Why has everything gotten worse with her in office?”

Fox News co-host Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former White House press secretary, wrote, “Tim Walz heralds the “steady leadership” of Kamala Harris. So-called “steady leadership” has led to the Afghanistan disaster, war in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, inflation, natural disaster botched response, unfettered illegal immigration and the list goes on… and on… and on…”

“Is Tim Walz talking about “steady leadership?” While the south is underwater and being ignored? While Eastern Europe and the Middle East are on fire?” demanded Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
Is Tim Walz talking about “steady leadership?”
While the south is underwater and being ignored?
While Eastern Europe and the Middle East are on fire?

Tim Walz is blaming Trump for Iran.
He mentioned Trump’s name 6x in his second answer, alone—referring to Trump’s leadership as “fickle” twice, and claiming Kamala will offer steady leadership.
What a buffoon.

What an absurd answer by Walz.
“Steady leadership like we saw today.”
Biden is eating pudding with a warm blanket, and Kamala read some useless statement.

Walz: “From Kamala, we’ve seen a steady leadership and calmness…”
I don’t know about you, but that’s not my conclusion of the last 4 years…
