Failed Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz conceded that the Democrat party may have made a mistake by failing to acknowledge former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.

“Don’t you think your party needs to acknowledge that President Biden was not up to the job of running for re-election, and that this was a major mistake?” asked CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday.

“You all went along with the idea that he was up for it and he wasn’t and everybody saw it. And the country rejected it,” Tapper continued.

Walz (D-Minn.) responded, stating, “History will tell us to go back on that. That very well could be the case, Jake. What I’m concerned about is learning from those lessons. I would hope we would never do it again, make a mistake, make sure we go through and get someone. I don’t know where it helps us going forward.”

Walz’s comments were in reference to Biden’s initial refusal to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, despite the growing concern over his obvious mental decline.

Biden reiterated multiple times that he would not drop out of the race, which came to a head following his disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump last June, ultimately ending his re-election campaign.

At the time, Walz attempted to quell concerns about Biden’s mental state as he stated, “Yes, he’s fit for office.”

“None of us are denying that Thursday night was a bad performance,” Walz stated at the time. “It was a bad get, if you will, on that. But it doesn’t impact what I believe — he’s delivering.”

Additionally, Tapper pressed Walz regarding former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent California speech, where she told the crowd, “I told you so.”

“What does ‘I told you so’ really mean here? I mean, people heard her message. They did not vote for her. She lost every battleground state. You yourself have criticized the Harris-Walz campaign for being too cautious. She may have told the American people, you know, she may have warned the American people, but she didn’t do it compellingly enough to win,” Tapper added.

Walz responded, criticizing himself for the crushing defeat in which the Democrats were unable to secure a single swing state, while also arguing that Harris attempted to warn Americans regarding Trump’s policies.

“I do think the challenge for Democrats, and this is, I think, a structural problem that’s going to take a lot more thought. Why, with all of that out there, did they not think we were any better than that? And they didn’t, and I’m very concerned about the folks who stayed home,” Walz added.

Tapper’s comments were in reference to Harris’s speech last Thursday, where she spoke on the “unconstitutional threat” that is the Trump administration, adding that “I’m not here to say I told you so.”

“We’re seeing people stay quiet. We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We are seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats. And these are the things we are witnessing. Each day in the last few months in our country. And it understandably creates a great sense of fear. Because you know there were many things we knew would happen,” Harris stated at the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California.

Walz also revealed that he currently has no plans to run for president in 2028.

“I’m certainly thinking about running again in Minnesota, if that’s what they want. I am not thinking about running in 2028,” Walz stated. “In this moment you’re planning for 2028, you’re going to get rolled by the people in the streets.”

THESE Harris & Walz picks reveal how global elites are LYING to you

If you want to know who Kamala Harris and Tim Walz really are, look at who they’ve picked to work in their campaigns and administrations. Glenn and Stu review Team Harris-Walz’ pick for Climate Engagement Director, Camila Thorndike, who has called oil and gas WORKERS dangerous to the environment. So why did she join the Harris campaign, which is now saying it WON’T ban fracking? If that wasn’t disturbing enough, Glenn and Stu introduce you to a man who’s helping shape Minnesota’s schools under Tim Walz. The propaganda machine insists that Critical Race Theory is harmless and barely used in our schools. But you have to hear what this appointee said about “deconstructing” the U.S. for yourselves. When the government lies to you: Glenn brings on Justin Haskins, the co-author of his new book, "Propaganda Wars," to explain how to cut through the propaganda and find the truth.

Tim Walz’s Wife Goes INSANE on Stage in Latest Liberal Meltdown

Kamala Harris was out in public recently, but what caught everyone's attention wasn't her policy — it was her bizarre new accent, one she’s never used before in any setting. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden made a rare appearance but quickly lost his temper when reporters pressed him on the situation in Russia and Ukraine, snapping back in frustration. Things only got stranger when Tim-Tom Walz and his wife, Gwen, took the stage during a campaign event. Gwen’s awkward sign-off with a cringeworthy, "Buh-bye Trump," left many wondering, "What does she mean? Is that a threat towards Trump?" The true oddballs of 2024 aren’t Trump and JD Vance — the oddballs are Democrat leftists, led by out-of-touch figures like Kamala Harris and the bizarre Walz duo.

GLENN BECK: We’re Not Fighting Harris-Walz This November; We’re Fighting GLOBALISM

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago has made something very clear: We need to stop referring to the 2024 Democrat Party as “liberals.” It’s no longer the party of John F. Kennedy or even Bill Clinton. The majority of the party elites represent something much more dangerous this November election. It’s true that the Harris-Walz record has flashes of communism and Marxism, but Glenn Beck argues that it more closely resembles 21st-century fascism. It’s an ideology that takes its marching orders from something much higher (and it’s not God). Take a look at the world right now. Every Western country is experiencing cost-of-living riots. Immigration riots. Freedom of speech riots. Everyone is pushing back on the same destructive policies. That’s because — whether they realize it or not — those who prefer FREEDOM are drawing a line in the sand against what is emerging — global government. Glenn connects the dots on the chalkboard like you’ve never seen to reveal a strategy half a century in the making, starting in the late 1940s from the forming of the U.N., the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization all the way through Agenda 21, the Paris accords, and the World Economic Forum. The chalkboard is going to be full, and it all points to one inevitable outcome: One World Order.

Tim Walz is Just Like You and Me If you and I have friends who love Hamas.

The marketing campaign is in high gear. Tim Walz should be our vice president, our self-appointed moral superiors inform us because he is a guy just like you and me and the fellow grilling hamburgers next door. Not Chuck Schumer's photo-op raw meat, either. Walz, the “news” media insists, is the real deal, an Ordinary Joe, even more ordinary than Old Joe Biden. A high school teacher! A football coach! A Marxist authoritarian! Oh, scratch that last one; they won’t be admitting that one until later. Nor is the establishment media talking about his friendships with Muslims who love Hamas.

The Washington Examiner reported Friday that Walz, “on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler.” The imam whom the Examiner had in mind was Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, who “said on Oct. 7 of last year that he ‘stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks.’” He has also “used his Facebook page over the years to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts on antisemitic websites slamming Jews, and, in one 2015 instance, a link to a piece on a website for a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told.’”

Listen closely now and you can hear leftists all over our unhappy land shouting, “So what?” This is the sort of thing that Democrat politicians do all the time, and Walz himself has done it before. The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that Walz “spoke at an event for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2019, where he rubbed shoulders with an anti-Semitic scholar behind much of the Hamas propaganda on college campuses in the wake of Oct. 7, according to photos from the event.” CAIR top dog Nihad Awad was the one who shot himself in the foot by saying that Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre made him “happy.” That was too much even for the Biden regime, which summarily dropped CAIR from a White House antisemitism task force.

CAIR had no business being part of that task force in the first place. Back in Nov. 2021, Zahra Billoo, executive director of CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter, delivered a venomously antisemitic speech in which she told her Muslim audience to “oppose the vehement fascist, but oppose the polite Zionist too.”

She warned against even far-left Jewish groups such as the ADL: “We need to pay attention to the Anti-Defamation League. We need to pay attention to the Jewish Federation. We need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues. We need to pay attention to the Hillel chapters on our campuses because just because they are your friends today, doesn’t mean that they have your back when it comes to human rights.”

That’s not even close to all. CAIR officials have refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.)

Nevertheless, Walz happily appeared at CAIR-Minnesota’s 2019 “Challenging Islamophobia” conference. He has never demonstrated any awareness of the fact that “Islamophobia” is a smear propaganda term designed to intimidate people into thinking it is wrong and “bigoted” to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression.

Nor has any leftist “journalist” demanded that Walz disavow “Islamophobia” professor Hatem Bazian, who was also at that conference. Discover the Networks notes that Bazian founded American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), “a major supporter of the pro-Hamas campus group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Several of AMP’s recent board members and key officials were previously members of, and worked closely with, now-defunct Islamic extremist groups that funded terrorist activities.”

These included direct financiers of Hamas, including the Islamic Association for Palestine “which, until its dissolution in 2004, served as the chief U.S. propaganda arm of Hamas”; the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, “which from 1995-2001 contributed approximately $12.4 million in money, goods, and services to Hamas”; and KindHearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development, “whose assets were frozen in 2006 by the U.S. Treasury Department because of its fundraising activities on behalf of Hamas.”

Walz’s stolen valor scandal isn’t going away anytime soon, but no one seems concerned that Walz has repeatedly associated with Muslim leaders with known ties to Hamas and other jihad groups. There is a good reason for this: it is nearly twenty-three years since 9/11, and that means that for almost twenty-three years, Americans have been relentlessly and comprehensively indoctrinated with the dogma that Islam is a religion of peace that was hijacked on that fateful day by a tiny minority of extremists, but hey, every religion has them, and any concern about Islamic jihad violence or Sharia oppression women is racist, bigoted, and “Islamophobic.”

In that atmosphere, Walz’s hobnobbing with associates and supporters of jihadis is unlikely to raise many eyebrows, but as Islamic jihadis continue to grow more assertive and emboldened in the West, America’s dad may come to wish he had chosen his friends more carefully.

How Dems, Media Are Weaponizing Walz Against 2nd Amendment

SEE: https://www.ammoland.com/2024/08/how-dems-media-are-weaponizing-walz-against-2nd-amendment/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

The usefulness of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the 2024 Democrat party ticket was fully illustrated by a report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette which quoted Vice President Kamala Harris at a Philadelphia campaign event.

Walz, Harris told the crowd, “is a hunter and a gun owner who believes, as the majority of gun owners do, that we need reasonable gun safety laws in America.”

So far, Democrats have a perfect foil for gun owners who are supporting former President Donald J. Trump in his bid for a comeback second term. Here’s Walz, the upper Midwest hunter and gun owner who allegedly represents “the majority of gun owners” when it comes to supporting legislation designed to put a knee on the neck of their Second Amendment rights with the same effect as that Minneapolis cop had on George Floyd.

"In his role as governor, Walz “expanded background checks and increased penalties for illegal firearm sales,” Harris told the crowd.

“And together,” Harris declared, “when we win in November, we are finally going to pass universal background checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban.”

Walz, as noted over the weekend by the Washington Post, represented a “rural swatch” of Minnesota when he was in Congress, and even got an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association. The newspaper noted he “often proudly sported a camo hat featuring the affirmation ‘NRA ENDORSED.’”

“But,” the WaPo explained, “as he sought his party’s nomination in a state that had backed the Democratic presidential nominee since 1976, Walz was equivocal when asked about access to guns.”

The Washington Post story then quotes Rob Doar, senior vice president at the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, who recalled how Walz “tried to find a middle ground” by portraying himself as a strong Second Amendment advocate who “also supported common-sense regulation.” And here the WaPo turns Walz into the gun owner-turned-everyday-man trying to be reasonable in an often irrational battle over Second Amendment rights.

“The moment showed how Walz went about moderating his stance on guns — slowly at first, then seemingly all at once,” the WaPo reported.

In the past, Hollywood might have cast Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper in the Walz role. Today, the first choice might be Tom Hanks, since Harrison Ford is just too old for the part.

It was after the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas and the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which, according to Doar, caused Walz to go “full-bore on gun control.”

To its credit, the Post-Gazette report also quoted Trump talking to a Pennsylvania crowd back in February, promising, “When I’m back in the Oval Office, no one will lay a finger on your firearms.”

Trump has not changed his mind on the right to keep and bear arms, even after being shot at a rally in Butler, Pa. He traveled to Grand Rapids, Mich., last month to tell a big crowd, “I will fully uphold our very important but under siege Second Amendment as I did for four years, and I got the full endorsement from the NRA,” the Post-Gazette noted.

Walz, on the other hand, turned corners back in early 2018 following the Parkland High School tragedy. In an op-ed published by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at the time, Walz told readers, “I’ve never been a member of the NRA, but I know many gun-owning Minnesotans still think of the organization as it was when I was growing up: as an advocate for sportsmen and women that held gun-safety classes." Today, though, it’s the biggest single obstacle to passing the most basic measures to prevent gun violence in America — including common-sense solutions that the majority of NRA members support.”

That was a pretty big claim from a guy who said he’s never been an NRA member. How would he know what NRA members really think?

This is Tim Walz’s real value to the Democrat ticket. He’s the enlightened gun owner and hunter who says “something” must be done, and he’s “walking the walk” on that issue by running for vice president next to career anti-gunner Kamala Harris, who was sued by the Second Amendment Foundation while she was California attorney general on gun rights issues.

At some point, Walz will be challenged to define “common-sense” gun control laws—er, gun “reforms”—and it will be up to America’s grassroots Second Amendment activists to determine whether Walz’s answers make any sense at all, much less common sense.
