Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is a radical leftist.
Vice President Kamala Harris selected Waltz as her running mate on Tuesday, allying herself with the most far-left choice among those on her short list, as Breitbart News reported.
Below are seven things to know about Waltz’s record:
- A June report from Minnesota’s legislative auditor found that Walz’s administration “failed miserably in its duty to properly oversee millions of federal dollars it administered to nonprofits to feed children.” The report said that Walz’s alleged incompetence “created opportunities for fraud.” Axios reported: “The report highlighted several ways in which the Walz administration failed to rein in the fraud, undercutting the governor’s longstanding claims that his agency staff deserve credit, not criticism, for their efforts to catch and stop it.”
- Walz signed legislation to allow minors to get sex-change operations in Minnesota. He signed a bill to require schools to stock period products in boys’ bathrooms.
- Walz allegedly failed to anticipate and react to riots in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd. Even the liberal mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, slammed Walz’s response to the riots.
- Under Walz’s leadership, Minnesota gives free college tuition to illegal immigrants.
- Walz signed a bill into law that will give driver’s licenses to potentially 77,000 eligible illegal aliens.
- Walz openly championed socialism last week during a “White Dudes” for Harris event.
- Waltz was also a radical member of the House of Representatives, with Heritage Action giving him a lifetime score of 13 percent.
Honorable mentions:
- Authorities arrested Walz for DUI.
- Walz said it was “ageism for Americans to be concerned about Biden’s fitness for office.
