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.

    Makes a lot of sense when you put it like that. :)

    I felt funny about it because I don’t generally need my politicians to be “down to earth” because exceptional people are often not and that’s fine, but I do need them to have that human joy of a baby animal, even if they’re not a pet owner or anything.

    Definitely appreciate the insight that it’s related, but different qualities being desired. :). Definitely going to use that phrase now.
