Reactions are pouring in after Kamala Harris announced her running mate choice Tuesday morning: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Walz, 60, a far-left Democrat, has been governor of Minnesota since January 2019.
During his tenure as governor, Walz was blasted for failing to stop the George Floyd rioters as they went on a wild and violent rampage in the state, and has supported a number of radical policies, including defunding the police.
In a social media post Tuesday morning, Harris wrote, “I am proud to announce that I’ve asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his. It’s great to have him on the team.”

Walz responded, “It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign. I’m all in. Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school. So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us.”

Minneapolis Mayor blamed Walz for failing to respond to the George Floyd riots:
From Breitbart:
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blamed Walz for failing to respond:
In an interview Monday, Frey said that Walz hesitated to send in the National Guard to quell the growing violence and then blamed him for allowing the city to burn.
Frey said he immediately telephoned Walz, at 6:29 p.m., relayed information, and asked him to send in the National Guard. “We expressed the seriousness of the situation. The urgency was clear,” Frey said.
“He did not say yes,” Frey said of Walz. “He said he would consider it.”
Walz blamed a lack of “equity and inclusion” for the George Floyd rights:

Kamala Harris then stepped in and promoted a fundraiser to bail the rioters out of jail:

Walz signed bill to give drivers’ licenses to 77,000 illegal aliens
Breitbart reported in March 2023: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has signed a Democrat-approved bill into law that will give driver’s licenses to potentially 77,000 eligible illegal aliens.
In January and February, Democrats in the Minnesota state house and senate approved the bill to eliminate the legal residency requirement for obtaining a driver’s license in the state. Instead, illegal aliens would be able to secure licenses to legally drive vehicles.
This week, Walz signed the legislation, claiming giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens “will make our communities safer for all Minnesotans.”

Walz promoted socialism while participating in a “White Dudes for Harris” event
Just last week, while participating in a virtual event, Walz declared, “Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values. One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”

Other radical positions Walz has taken:
- Walz signed legislation to allow minors to get sex-change operations in Minnesota.
- He signed a bill to require schools to stock period products in boys’ bathrooms.
- Under Walz’s leadership, Minnesota gives free college tuition to illegal immigrants.
- Changed the Minnesota state flag to resemble the Somalian flag
- Supported draconian lockdowns during the Covid pandemic
- Supports sex change surgeries for children
- Supports gun control
- Supports abortion
Mike Murphy: “When I ran for governor of Minnesota in 2022, my campaign put together this video montage of Tim Walz’s first-term failures. Enjoy the highlight reel as the worst Vice President in our history is about to pick the worst, most careless Governor in history as her running mate.”

Megyn Kelly: “Tim Walz signed a bill that lets the State take away ur kids if you d/n/agree to sterilize them & chop off their body parts in the name of “gender affirming care.” So if your 14-yr-old is sad but thinks it’s gender confusion & u object to castrating him, the St takes custody.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “In 2021, Minnesotans were roughly five times more likely to move to Florida than vice versa. They were fleeing a state that, under Gov. Tim Walz, turned its back on law and order, increased taxes, and imposed unscientific coronavirus restrictions, harming children and destroying businesses. Walz is an unbridled leftist, an Ilhan Omar-style Democrat that puts ideology above all else.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Not only did Governor Tim Walz sign legislation giving free college and free health care to illegal immigrants, but he sat on the sidelines and watched Minneapolis burn for four days straight. Weird and dumb.
“To the American people: If you had any doubt that Kamala Harris is deeply liberal, look no further than the fact that her VP pick was endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Great day for the Left. Bad day for middle America.”

Meghan McCain: “I knew next to nothing about Tim Walz before this week and listened to several interviews, podcast, did research. He is no moderate, and no uniter. In fact you would be hard pressed to find a more extreme progressive running mate. He is a Trojan horse with a red state accent.”

From Journalist Laura Loomer:
EXCLUSIVE: @KamalaHarris VP pick @GovTimWalz Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Openly Embraced And Attended Islamic Center Affiliated With ISIS whose Imam Teaches Sharia Law and has called for the murder of Jews
Further highlighting@KamalaHarris’s radical selection of her VP candidate and the danger she and her VP pick pose to our national security, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is tied to ISIS and often frequents the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic center in Minnesota known for being a key location for recruitment of ISIS terrorists, according to the FBI.
Dar Al-Farooq caters to the Somali community.
A report based on FBI statistics revealed that Minneapolis’s Somali community has become the terrorist recruitment capital of the United States.
“FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS. Both numbers are far higher than those of alleged terrorist wannabes who left or attempted to leave the country from other areas in the country where Muslim refugees have been resettled.”
Many of those Somalis attended Dar Al Farooq, which is the most popular Somali mosque in Minnesota.
Imam Waleed Idris al-Meneesey is the head of the Dar Al Farooq Islamic center in Minnesota. Al-Meneesey has not only called for the killing of Jews, but he has also been cited saying Muslims should refrain from participating in non-Islamic courts that do not follow Islamic shariah law, particularly those in the West guided by “man-made” law.
In 2008, the Assembly of Muslim Jurists Association of America (AMJA), where al-Meneese sits on the FATWA committee issued a declaration telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement “in countries which do not rule by Allah’s dictates”, including the FBI. The declaration invoked many of the same arguments mentioned in a 2007 paper published by al-Meneese’s.
As you can see below, I have provided screenshots of the Dar Al-Farooq Center promoting Tim Walz, Imam Al-Maneese’s bio, a photo of @GovTimWalz inside the ISIS affiliated Dar Al-Farooq center, and a screenshot of a Facebook post made by Walz’s Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan saying she and Tim Walz “stand with Dar Al Farooq”.
How can anyone vote for a Presidential candidate whose VP openly embraces and stands with an ISIS tied mosque whose IMAM is calling for Muslims to kill Jews, only respect sharia Law, murder Jews, and not cooperate with law enforcement?
Why is Tim Walz openly embracing an Islamic Center whose Imam sits on a “fatwa committee” when we know that Muslims issue Fatwas against those they want murdered in the name of Islam?
You can literally see this on the Imam’s own bio (see below). This is how he is promoting himself in his own words. This is as radical as it gets.
The expose I have presented is disqualifying material. Can you imagine having a Vice President who says he stands with the Islamic center that is responsible for the recruitment of dozens of ISIS terrorists who tried to join ISIS Overseas while living in Minnesota and attending Dar Al Farooq?
The Democrat Party is openly embracing Islamic jihadists and those who openly preach about murdering Jews.

Several are posting more reminders of what Americans can expect with a Harris-Walz administration:
