While we're all giggling at how well the #WeirdGOP mocking is working and infuriating the #GOP
And while we're exulting in #Harris choosing #TimWalz for her #Veep
Make note that #Walz started the #Weird moniker 🤭
"Meet Kamala Harris’s running mate Tim Walz, the first one to call Republicans ‘weird’
...
These are weird people on the other side,” he said on MSNBC last month. “They want to take books away. They want to be in your exam room.”

Election 2024 live updates: Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, AP sources say
Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate. Three people familiar with the decision confirmed the pick to The Associated Press on Tuesday.AP News
"his folksy demeanor and willingness to use plain language to criticize former president Donald #Trump and Sen. #JDVance (R-Ohio) helped catapult him onto Harris’s vice-presidential shortlist. In interviews, #Walz cast Trump and #Vance as not just a threat to #democracy but, simply, #weird, an attack that quickly caught on for #Democrats and that struck a nerve for #Republicans."

Tim Walz’s journey from high school football coach to VP candidate
Walz, formerly a little-known Midwestern governor, now faces the urgent task of introducing himself to the country with only about three months until Election Day.Amy B Wang (The Washington Post)
"In 2022, #Walz handily won reelection... while #Democrats also flipped the state #Senate, securing a trifecta for Democrats... that has allowed them to pass liberal priorities. Democrats under Walz’s governorship have enshrined the right to #abortion, allowed undocumented #immigrants to obtain a driver’s license, expanded background checks for gun transfers, legalized recreational #marijuana &offered protections for people seeking or providing gender-affirming #HealthCare."
"In 2006, #Walz won the race to represent #Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, flipping a #Republican seat in a #rural part of the state...
Walz would win reelection to his seat five more times before leaving the #House to run for #governor. In the 2018 gubernatorial race, Walz defeated his Republican opponent by more than 10 percentage points."

"Walz’s foray into politics came later in life: Born and raised in West Point, Neb., a small rural town, after high school he enlisted in the #Army National Guard, where he would serve for the next 24 years. After losing his father to lung #cancer at age 19 — which he would later say shaped his views on #HealthCare — #Walz enrolled in Chadron State College in #Nebraska and graduated with a #teaching degree in 1989."

"The much-anticipated decision creates a ticket with two candidates from strikingly different backgrounds: #Harris, 59, is #Black & #Indian American & spent much of her career as an attorney & prosecutor in deep-blue #California.
Meanwhile, #Walz, 60, is a #veteran & hunter who has spent most of his life in rural #Nebraska & #Minnesota — and is the first #Democratic vice-presidential pick since 1964 who did not go to #law school."
