Tim Walz Highlights Trump's 'Losing' Battle Against His 'Weird' Attacks
Tim Walz mocked former President Donald Trump on Thursday for “explaining” away his concerns with the Minnesota governor’s “weird” attacks.
“There’s a saying in politics: If you’re explaining, you’re losing ... 11 times, 11 times, Donald Trump explained that he wasn’t weird,” said Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate as he got laughs out of the crowd at a Pennsylvania campaign event.
He continued, “I think we might be gettin’ under their skin there a little bit.”
Trump, in the first part of a Fox News town hall event on Wednesday, repeatedly referred to the “weird” description that Walz has hurled at him and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), on the campaign trail.
“He’s weird, I’m not weird, he’s weird. No, he’s a weird guy, he’s a weird dude,” said Trump of Walz in an interview with Sean Hannity.
Walz countered Trump’s frustration with “weird” by swiftly dropping a summary of the Republican nominee’s approach to his 2024 bid.
“This isn’t about name-calling or anything, I was pointing out it’s weird to be obsessed with people’s personal lives. It’s weird to be obsessed with people’s health care choices,” Walz said while referring to the GOP ticket.
“It’s weird to continue to talk about sharks and batteries and boats and things like that,” he added.
Walz: There’s a saying in politics: if you’re explaining, you’re losing. Last night, 11 times Donald Trump explained that he wasn’t weird…
