The GOP is scrambling to find a line of attack against Kamala Harris’s VP pick — and it’s not going well

Tim Walz has made his debut as Kamala Harris’ running mate, and Republicans are struggling to apply their standard villainization playbook to the Minnesota governor.

Walz has been making waves for weeks now as a good-natured, relatable politician with a particular aptitude for dressing down the Republican agenda in terms that any voter can understand — and the GOP hates it.

Republicans are scrambling to paint the governor-turned-VP candidate as a devilish Marxist hellbent on running the country into the ground — their usual stuff — while leveling a bunch of other really weird attacks. Here are some of their most pathetic attempts to turn voters against Walz.

    as it turns out, the strategy of “lets force everyone to have more babies, and then when kids go hungry, blame the parents specifically for having too many babies” isn’t panning out the way they hoped

      I’ve always felt that “have more babies but also fuck you for ever having sex” was a bit of wildly contradictory policy stance.

        No, I actually get it. You ever seen a toddler jump in a puddle and then get upset that their legs got wet and dirty? It’s like that

        Fucking toddler logic.

          That’s giving them far too little credit for their cruelty.
