Where’s Walz?!
Tampon Tim is parading around the country on his phony “town hall” tour, but Minnesotans have been looking for him for years!
Not to mention, Walz is refusing to clean up the sanctuary city mess in Minneapolis just so he can raise his profile to run for President.
“Tampon Tim’s town hall tour is a pathetic circus act — a desperate distraction from his failed record and the Democrats’ crumbling brand. He’s got no business preaching to anyone when he hasn’t faced his own constituents in Minnesota since 2019.”— NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

Tuesday’s event, hosted by the Wisconsin Democratic Party, is part of a broader effort to boost a Democratic candidate for the state Supreme Court.

Friction point: The new travel schedule has triggered criticism from Minnesota Republicans, who complain that he’s focused on his political ambitions instead the budget and other issues back home.
House Speaker Lisa Demuth (R-Cold Spring) complained that the governor’s staff rebuffed her attempts to schedule regular meetings for weeks, even before a political dispute derailed the start of session.
Plus: Walz’s attacks on Republicans have also attracted scrutiny over his town hall track record.
While he held them as a member of Congress, Walz aides were unable to identify any he’s hosted in Minnesota since becoming governor in 2019.
