| Walz says Harris picked him for VP to 'code talk to White guys' |
| 2025-05-01 |
| [FOX] Former vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued a self-described "listening tour" across the country at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday night, ruling out a 2028 presidential bid and revealing why former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. Walz said Harris chose him, in part, because, "I could code talk to White guys watching football, fixing their truck" and "put them at ease." The Minnesota governor described himself as the "permission structure" for White men from rural America to vote for Democrats. "I think I'll give you pretty good stuff, but I'll also give you 10% problematic," Walz added when pushed by moderator Brittany Shepherd, ABC News national political reporter, about why he didn't take that message to cable news to reach a larger audience. Walz laughed off criticism over inconsistencies in his background on the 2024 campaign trail, describing himself as a "knucklehead." Walz told CNN's Jake Tapper earlier this month that he was considering a third bid for Minnesota governor but was not thinking about running for president in 2028. When asked by Shepherd to explain, Walz said the Democratic Party should run a collective 2028 presidential campaign. |

| #7 Permission Structure is such a neo-left buzz word construction. If you remember they tried this with the women as well, that commercial with White Billy Bob Doofus and his wife at the poll center, Billy saunters up to the woman, "Well I ah hope you voted for right person." Gal strikes a gay disney smirk pose, "I ah shore did." wink and fades to Harris banner. It is a social construct theory in movie previews, hiring actors to chortle or gasp whatever during certain scenes so that the critics, if not join in, can at least use those prompts as to what corporate wants the advertising message to be. "Ugh, this Thunderbolts is 2 hours of nothing but lame disney one-liners but that guy was chuckling the whole time, so quirky comedy instead of lame and boring." |

| #4 Tampon Tim might have been able to relate to white girly boys but I think he was pretty well despised by white men. |

| #3 This guy screams out loser. He is such a loser that even losers avoid him. Psst, Tim! Guys don't say "code talk" unless they are actually taking about code. Perhaps President Trump, in the spirit of bipartisanship, could nominate Timmy as Ambassador to White America. He would not take the job, of course, but the outrage and screaming would be delicious. |
