That got clipped by the Trump campaign and has gone viral, with Walz getting heavily mocked for essentially writing a campaign ad for Trump.
The Trump War Room said “Walz finally tells the truth: “We can’t afford four more years” of Kamala Harris!”
The Daily Mail has more on the relentless mocking:
MAGA world erupted in mockery of Gov. Tim Walz after he appeared to push a new party taking over the White House next year.
Walz told a crowd in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Saturday: ‘We can’t afford four more years of this.’
The line is usually reserved for candidates campaigning against an incumbent executive they are looking to oust and implement change. But in this case, current Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate are looking to take over for Democrat President Joe Biden.
‘Kamala is in office right now,’ one X user pointed out. ‘She’s the ‘this.’
Another user wrote: ‘I’m not sure if you know this Tim but your current running mate is kinda the VP.’
‘When your opponent campaigns for you,’ a highly followed ‘America First’ account wrote on X, formerly Twitter, adding of the ‘four more years’ comment: ‘We agree, Timmy!’
Republicans often point to policies implemented by the Biden-Harris administration that the Party claims has led to a swift decline in the last four years.
Specifically, they point to economic policies and open border initiatives that have caused two of the biggest issues for voters this election cycle: the economy and inflation.
If you’re like me, you wonder what the full context of his comments were in the clip. The Daily Mail tells us:
Walz was talking about steps he took to restrict firearm sales in his state: ‘Things like we did in Minnesota, to have enhanced background checks and red flag laws, to get guns out of there, to make a difference.’
‘And I still got my guns to go shoot pheasants in a couple weeks…’ he was saying before he strayed off to address a rally goer who appeared to need medical attention.
‘We need some water, can we get [a] check on him?’ the vice presidential nominee said, pointing to someone in the audience.
A few minutes later, Walz went back to the state of the race and started wrapping his stump speech by criticizing Trump and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance.
‘I’ll bring her home here quick, folks,’ the Democrat said. ‘Look, Kamala Harris made it clear these guys want to instill fear. They want to tell you… just get over it, it’s a fact of life. This is the way it is.’
‘[Harris] simply has said it doesn’t have to be this way,’ he went on. ‘It doesn’t have to be this way.’
‘We can’t afford four more years of this,’ he concluded.
So he’s talking about mass shootings and gun control, saying we can’t afford four more years of everyone having guns or something.
That’s the context.
But does he not realize that Joe and Kamala are the ones in power? Does he not realize that the Democratic Party is running the country?
Does he not realize that for the first two years of Joe and Kamala being in the White House, they had the House and Senate as well?
Tim Walz voted for Joe and Kamala and probably campaigned for them.
Why haven’t they stopped these mass shootings?
What you can bet on is that Walz’s comment here is going to be put in Trump ads all over the country for the rest of the election.
It’ll be good to see this bozo on Republican ads! This might also alert the DNC to how dangerous this Loon is…to everyone!
He is correct, that we can’t stand 4more yrs of this; but the “this” we can’t stand more of is THEIR policies and lies!
And Kamel was behind him clapping and cheering him on. These people are nuts.
