(DailyVantage.com) – Not long after Vice President Kamala Harris announced that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was her running mate, the Trump campaign and Republicans were quick to label Harris and Walz the most far-left presidential ticket in history.
Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt described Walz as a “dangerously liberal extremist,” warning in a statement that the Harris-Walz ticket’s “California dream” would be “every American’s nightmare.”
Leavitt later said in an interview on Fox News that Walz supported the “Defund the Police” movement and accused him of allowing Minneapolis to burn during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis blasted Harris and Walz as the “most left-wing” presidential ticket in history. Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee also described Harris-Walz as “the most radical ticket” in history, while Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio said Walz’s selection ushered in the complete takeover of the Democrat Party by “the lunatic left.”
Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance hammered Governor Walz for his support of policies that would harm working Americans.
Speaking to reporters on his way to a campaign event, Vance said the choice of Walz showed how radical Vice President Harris was.
He blasted the Democrat nominee for appeasing the “Hamas wing” of the Democratic Party by selecting Walz over Pennsylvania’s popular Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro. He noted that in doing so, Harris chose a running mate who sought to ship manufacturing jobs to China and force Americans to rely on “garbage” energy sources rather than US energy.
Like other Republicans, Vance pointed out Walz’s support for defunding the police.
The Vice Presidential nominee told reporters that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz made “an interesting tag team” during the 2020 BLM riots. He noted that as governor, Walz allowed the rioters to burn Minneapolis down, and when a few got arrested, Kamala Harris helped to bail them out.
When asked if he and Walz shared any similarities, Vance joked that they were both “white guys from the Midwest.”
