Tim Walz Failed to Stop BLM Riots as Kamala Harris Solicited Bail Money

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who was reported Tuesday to be the likely running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, failed in 2020 to anticipate and react to riots in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd at police hands.

I don't want to read or hear anything along the lines of "nobody could have beaten Harris."  Are you kidding me?  This ticket is appalling.  Any competent politician could articulate the many ways progressive ideas are destructive to our economy and our culture.  Harris is a treasure trove of made-for-TV content, and Minnesota was the epicenter of lawlessness in 2020.  There are multitudinous examples.  Some can be tied directly to these two.  But if Trump would rather spend the next few months giving lazy speeches replete with needless distractions, what follows is the responsibility of MAGA.

A presidential ticket where one person enabled the burning down of his own state and the other person advocated bailing out the people who did it.

The Left did it to Joe Lieberman.  Now, they did it to Josh Shapiro.

The D party is not home for strong supporters of Israel.  It’s time for the Jewish community to recognize the power in the D party rests with its anti-Israel progressive base.

Yup

We’re going see a lot of posts of stunned disbelief of how the country could elect somebody like Harris come November.

Can’t say that they weren’t warned.


His irrational rant yesterday to the drop in the stock market tells me that his campaign is flailing, and he’s trying to find some kind of message that he thinks will stick

Maybe he should just stick to questioning Kamala Harris’s “blackness”

Kamala Harris picks progressive Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her VP for the 'most left-wing ticket in history': Republicans celebrate choice of 'woke' Democrat who ran state during George Floyd riots

DAILYMAIL.COM
By Katelyn Caralle
6 August 2024

Kamala Harris picked Minnesota's progressive governor Tim Walz as her running mate to take on Donald Trump and J.D. Vance after weeks of speculation and a bitter fight between candidates.

The 60-year-old father-of-two, who has been married to his teacher wife Gwen since 1994, joins the ticket in a victory for the far left of the party who were concerned about some of the other contenders' support of Israel.

In Minnesota Walz has codified the right to abortion, signed universal free school meals, legalized recreational marijuana and gave voting rights to former prisoners.

The former teacher is also credited with being the Democrat who started calling Republicans 'weird', a craze that has dominated the campaign since Joe Biden dropped out of the race last month.

Walz turned the North Star State into a refuge for LGBTQ Americans and has also backed making Minnesota the 13th 'sanctuary' state for undocumented migrants.

Vance: We All Know Why Harris Didn't Pick Shapiro

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/08/06/vance-we-all-know-why-harris-didnt-pick-shapiro-n3792756

Various folks in the media have rushed to the fainting couches over J.D. Vance's prophecy. However, none of them have an appealing alternative explanation why Kamala Harris left Pennsylvania up for grabs to choose Minnesota governor Tim Walz as a running mate. Shapiro has success in the one state Harris absolutely has to win in November, including a significant degree of Republican approval for his work.

As Vance told Hugh Hewitt this morning shortly before Harris' choice leaked, what other explanation can anyone make for this other than Shapiro's Jewishness?

Hearing Biden suggested Josh Shapiro and warned Kamala not to underestimate JD Vance's appeal in the Rust Belt...and that Obama prefers Walz bc Shapiro would lose Michigan + start a floor fight at DNC

Perhaps, but I suspect it's just that the Muslim Obama himself (and not just the Muslim population of Michigan) doesn't like Joooos.

If the incompetent VPOTUS really was interested in balancing her ticket, she'd picked the KY governor.

I agree with Trump's initial response.   Dumb bitch doubled down on her radical left vision.  There's no olive branches to the center, and this will backfire on GOTV.

Are you asking how she could be elected?

Canvassing mental institutions for votes, of course.  Normal people would never vote Democrat.

Meet the Little-Known Activist Group That Has Tens of Thousands of Doctors Registering Patients To Vote
From psychiatric hospitals to the NICU, clinical settings have become political battlegrounds.
Aaron Sibarium
August 6, 2024

Many patients at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, an 89-bed facility affiliated with Pennsylvania State University, suffer from schizophrenia, substance abuse, depression, or bipolar disorder. They cannot complete the "activities of daily living," the hospital’s inpatient clinic states. Some are "suicidal, aggressive, or dangerous to themselves or others."

During their stay, which is often involuntary, patients participate in group counseling, learn strategies for stress management, have their medication adjusted, and interact with therapy animals.

They can also partake in a less orthodox therapeutic activity: registering to vote.

Located in a swing state that could decide the 2024 election, the hospital asks psychiatric inpatients, regardless of diagnosis, if they would be interested in "voter registration tools" that let them check their nearest polling station and register to vote online. Patients can also request a mail-in ballot with "assistance" from hospital staff, according to a pair of papers about the project, which began in 2020.

Since then, the hospital has continued registering patients—even those who are not near discharge and have not yet been stabilized—on the grounds that voting, as the institute puts it, is a "therapeutic tool" that "helps empower patients and makes them feel good."

"Voting is an important part of the recovery process," Julie Graziane, a geriatric psychiatrist who leads the hospital’s civic engagement efforts, said in a press release. Neither she nor Ruth Moore, the hospital’s head of community engagement, responded to requests for comment.

Initially, the Pennsylvania-based institute was relying on "voter support" materials created by its own staff. In more recent years, however, it has turned to the nonprofit Vot-ER, which develops "nonpartisan civic engagement tools" for "every corner of the healthcare system."

Founded by an emergency room physician at Harvard Medical School, Alister Martin, who served as an adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, Vot-ER has helped more than 50,000 doctors register their patients to vote. Its signature product is a badge—with a QR code that pulls up an online voter registration platform—that health care workers can wear around their necks. Doctors ask patients whether they’ve registered to vote and, if the answer is no, encourage them to scan the badge.

Though Vot-ER claims to be nonpartisan, it is staffed by progressive operatives, funded by progressive foundations, and run by an umbrella nonprofit, A Healthier Democracy, that has referred to DEI as "the bedrock of fair healthcare." And ahead of the 2024 election, it is leading a movement—backed by top medical groups and an executive order from the Biden-Harris administration—that is turning health care centers into political battlegrounds.

Doctors have used Vot-ER’s tools to register patients in cancer hospitals, emergency rooms, substance abuse clinics, and palliative care departments. Some have even registered the parents of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit, where infants in critical condition receive care.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Nurses Association, and the Association of American Medical Colleges suggest that clinicians ask patients whether they plan to vote. So does the Department of Health and Human Services, which encourages federally funded health centers to provide "voter registration activities" to "underserved populations."

Report: Harris Campaign Worries ‘A**hole’ Pennsylvanians Are Unhappy About Walz Pick

https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/08/06/report-harris-campaign-worries-bleep-pennsylvanians-are-unhappy-about-walz-pick/

Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is reportedly concerned about “bleep” Pennsylvanians voicing displeasure over the selection of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) instead of Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as her running mate.

Shortly after it was revealed Walz would be the pick over Shapiro and other finalists, Philadelphia Inquirer national political reporter Julia Terruso spoke with a Harris campaign staffer who expressed worry about Pennsylvanians voicing anger over the pick at Tuesday night’s Harris-Walz rally in Philadelphia. The staffer reportedly wondered if “some bleep” would boo at the rally, which Shapiro said he would attend.

What a big gift this Veep pick is to the Trump campaign. Josh Shapiro would have given Harris credibility as a moderate who is willing to make some concessions to the reasonable center in order to govern. Instead, she picks a guy who supported the rioters who burned down his biggest city, and turned Minnesota into a sanctuary state. I really cannot believe Harris could be this politically naïve, but there you have it.
