\"JuneJune 12, 2025; Washington, DC; Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), testifies before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform | Jack Gruber-USA TODAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz<\/a> (D) slammed Republicans for not thinking for themselves, saying that it\u2019s \u201ceasy\u201d to be a Republican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThink of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican,\u201d Walz said at the DNC Summer Meeting in Minneapolis yesterday. \u201c\u2018Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin\u2019 red hat. What should I say today? I don\u2019t know, just make sure it\u2019s cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy, oh the felon in the White House, listen to him and that will be fine.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walz\u2019s fiery speech included calling the president a \u201cwannabe king in the White House\u201d and the \u201cdictator-in-chief\u201d and said he\u2019s \u201csick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walz, who was the vice presidential nominee last year, stood by Kamala Harris, saying she would have been a \u201cfantastic president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, we wouldn\u2019t wake up every day to a bunch of s**t on TV and a bunch of nonsense,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work, not a man-child crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walz was likely referring to the president\u2019s \u201ccankles,\u201d which the White House says is the result of his Chronic Venous Insufficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
