'''Timothy James “Tim” Walz''' (born April 6, 1964, age {{age|1964|4|6}}) commonly known as '''Tampon Tim'''<ref>[https://twitter.com/EllenStreiff/status/1820860950968480240 Tom Walz. Roo Weird.

His tenure as governor has been described as a "disaster for Minnesotans," with Walz presiding over a 70% increase in homicides in the state.<ref>[https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-has-been-disaster-minnesotans-opinion-1935402#:~:text=Under%20Walz's%20tenure%2C%20Minnesota%20has,Minneapolis%20are%20up%20548%20percent.  Tim Walz Has Been a Disaster for Minnesotans | Opinion] ''Newsweek'',  Aug 6, 2024</ref> In light of the [[Somali fraud scandal]], Walz withdrew his gubernatorial re-election bid in January 2026.

Walz inflated his military record in the National Guard.  Others said about him:
{{cquote|The Command Sergeant Major who replaced him, the mother of one of his unit's fallen soldiers and the unit's Chaplain are calling him a coward. How DARE Tim Walz call it simply partisan attacks.<ref>[https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1824100563346190416 on X]</ref>}}

Walz's career consisted of being a high school geography teacher and assistant football coach.  He graduated from [[Nebraska]]'s Chadron State College, which ranks only #132 out of 167 regional universities in the Midwest according to the U.S. News & World Report.<ref>https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/chadron-state-college-2539</ref> Walz boasts of being a good friend of [[Young mass murderers|school shooters]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wutKsW36eRY </ref>

[[Kamala Harris]] picked Tim Walz as her running mate for the [[2024 US presidential election]] on August 6 that year. At the time, he was facing an accusation of "stolen valor", as when he was running for governor in 2018, Walz embellished and selectively omitted facts about his military service; for example, his official bio claimed that Walz "retired as a sergeant major in 2005", whereas Walz actually failed to meet the conditions of his promotion to this rank, rendering it null and void.<ref>Ashe Schow, [https://www.dailywire.com/news/walz-embellished-and-selectively-omitted-facts-about-his-military-career-retired-national-guardsmen?topStoryPosition=4 Walz ‘Embellished And Selectively Omitted Facts’ About His Military Career: Retired National Guardsmen], ''Daily Wire'', August 6, 2024.</ref><ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/06/kamala-harriss-vice-president-pick-gov-tim-walz-facing-stolen-valor-accusation/ Kamala Harris’s Vice President Pick Gov.

==Political views==
[[File:Rep. Tim Walz.PNG|right|250px|thumb|Walz]]
===Immigration===

Walz signed a law allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver licenses, enabling them to register to vote under motor-voter laws. The law which attracted illegal migrants to Minnesota, worked against the interests of union workers in Minnesota, which is a strong union state run by the Democrat Farmer-Labor Party, as migrants tend to drive wages down for both union workers and minorities.<ref>[https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/08/democrats-vp-choice-tim-walz-has-a-history-of-working-on-the-side-of-monied-interests-against-workers.html Democrats’ VP Choice Tim Walz Has a History of Working on the Side of Monied Interests Against Workers], by Conor Gallagher, Posted on August 7, 2024. www.nakedcapitalism.com</ref>

===Homosexuality and Transgenderism===
When he was a teacher, Walz "launched a gay-straight alliance group in his school."<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/oct/26/divisive-transgender-sleeper-issue-may-cost-democr/</ref>

Walz transform Minnesota into a "trans refuge" state — signing legislation to protect "[[gender-affirming care]]" and to provide tampons in boys' bathrooms at schools.
Walz signed the so-called "Trans Refuge" bill into law in April 2023, prohibiting the enforcement of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for people who travel to the North Star State from other states for gender-affirming care.<ref>https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-news/tim-walz-signed-laws-catering-to-illegal-migrants-giving-them-free-healthcare-tuition/</ref>

{{quotebox-float|The fact is [[George Floyd]] was killed in Minneapolis, by a Minneapolis policeman. He was not killed by a [[federal]] agent in a community of [[white supremacist]]s.

Minneapolis has been dominated by [[Democrat]] mayors for more than 40 years.

Walz, Mayor Frey, Attorney General Ellison, Police Chief Arradondo, [[Ilhan Omar|Rep. Omar]], Sens. [[Klobuchar]] and [[Tina Smith|Smith]] – you own this situation. You have all run on platforms promising you would rid our community of this type of heinous behavior.

Liberal politicians’ show their [[cynicism]] when, while in control for decades, they express their outrage that racism is a systemic problem in the police department of our largest city. Each of these leaders has expressed support for the protesters, as if they are sympatico with their cause. Where is the self-awareness?  These people are not supporting your leadership, they are protesting against your failure to deal with systemic racism while you are empowered to make real change.

Tim Walz is our governor; not [[George Wallace]]

[[Keith Ellison]] is attorney general; not [[Jeff Sessions]]

[[Amy Klobuchar]] is our U.S. senator; not [[Strom Thurmond]]

Medaria Arradondo is police chief; not [[Bull Connor]]

Enough of the empty accolades for the protesters. Don’t pretend you are in agreement with their cause. Your actions, while in power to make real change, demonstrate otherwise. The correct response on your part is not to insult the community with feigned emotion, your responsibility was to prevent this from happening. You have all failed miserably.<ref name=twincitiesletter/>}}
Gov. Walz estimated the cost of the damage to more than 1,500 businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul at over $500 million.  Walz stood idly by while looters and rioters burned businesses and neighborhoods to the ground. Walz did nothing and continued to do nothing as public property and monuments were defaced and destroyed. As his own citizens begged for protection, Walz turned a blind eye to liberal [[Democrat]] [[socialist]] [[terrorism]] while forcing taxpayers to shut down their places of business and churches because of “COVID concerns.”<ref>[https://www.redstate.com/kiradavis/2020/07/03/866680/ In LOL News: MN Governor Asks Trump For Federal Funds To Help In Riot Recovery] ''Red State'', July 3, 2020</ref>

Walz was picked over the leading contender Gov. [[Josh Shapiro]] of [[Pennsylvania]] as a concession to the [[violent]] and [[anti-Semitic]]<ref>[https://jewishinsider.com/2024/08/shapiro-boosters-view-vp-pick-as-sign-of-rising-antisemitism-within-the-democratic-party/ Shapiro boosters view VP pick as sign of rising antisemitism within the Democratic Party] ''JewishInsider'', Aug 6, 2024</ref><ref>[https://www.jns.org/josh-shapiro-and-the-unmaking-of-a-vice-president/ Josh Shapiro and the unmaking of a vice president] ''JNS'', Aug 6, 2024.<blockquote><small>
...there’s little doubt that the decision to bypass a popular governor who could have played a decisive role in winning a key battleground state that Harris must have if she is to beat former President Donald Trump in November wasn’t made solely because of Shapiro’s healthy ego. As we all know, that is a quality that hardly marks him as an outlier among politicians. Instead, it was his identity as a Jew and an unabashed supporter of Israel that sparked an ultimately successful campaign among Democrats to spike the Shapiro boomlet.
His positions on Israel and the war on Hamas are not, in fact, very different from those of the other men Harris was considering, including Walz and Arizona Sen. [[Mark Kelly]]. They, too, support Israel’s right to exist and condemned the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, as well as expressed concern about the pro-Hamas demonstrations that have become the hallmark of a surge in American antisemitism during the last 10 months. And like them, Shapiro supports proposals for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict that is hopelessly out of touch with what Palestinians want; all are critics of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Reacting to the events, Florida governor [[Ron DeSantis]] is quoted as saying: "Harris-Walz: most left-wing ticket in American history 'Minnesota was ground zero for the [[BLM riots]] of 2020. Harris egged it on and Walz sat by and let Minneapolis burn."

Speaker [[Mike Johnson]], another former colleague of Walz, called him the 'most liberal 'nominee' to ever appear on a presidential ballot.' He 'has now chosen a progressive running mate who has voiced support for socialism, supports sanctuary cities, and wants to give driver's licenses to the millions of illegal aliens Kamala Harris has allowed into our country.'
Adding:
'No amount of spin from the campaign or the media can distract from the objective facts and the disastrous records of Harris and Walz.'

Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and former governor of Minnesota, has faced criticism for hosting a Muslim cleric named Imam Asad Zaman on multiple occasions. Zaman has been reported to have celebrated the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler. Additionally, Zaman's Islamist group has received over $100,000 in state funding from Walz.

<blockquote><small>
EXCLUSIVE — Under Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the state of Minnesota awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group that fundraises for a charity linked to an al Qaeda affiliate, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s [[Oct 7 War|Oct. 7]] attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity was collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a terrorist group sanctioned by the U.S. government for funding al Qaeda.

News of the Walz administration’s grants to the IANA comes as the Democratic vice presidential candidate faces backlash after a series of Washington Examiner reports revealed his ties to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. As Minnesota’s governor, Walz has repeatedly hosted Zaman, who shared a pro-Adolf Hitler movie on social media and defended the Oct. 7 attack. Moreover, according to unearthed footage, Walz referred to Zaman as a “master teacher” at a 2018 event held by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which partners with the IANA.

The presidential campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris has continued to claim Walz has no personal relationship with Zaman. Harris and Walz officials did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “Embracing and funding an imam that sympathizes with neo-Nazis was apparently only the start,” said Sam Westrop, a terrorism analyst at the Middle East Forum think tank..</small></blockquote></ref>
