The GOP is scrambling to find a line of attack against Kamala Harris’s VP pick — and it’s not going well

Tim Walz has made his debut as Kamala Harris’ running mate, and Republicans are struggling to apply their standard villainization playbook to the Minnesota governor.

Walz has been making waves for weeks now as a good-natured, relatable politician with a particular aptitude for dressing down the Republican agenda in terms that any voter can understand — and the GOP hates it.

Republicans are scrambling to paint the governor-turned-VP candidate as a devilish Marxist hellbent on running the country into the ground — their usual stuff — while leveling a bunch of other really weird attacks. Here are some of their most pathetic attempts to turn voters against Walz.

    But hey, now they can claim that not picking Shapiro was antisemitic! 🙄

    Never mind the tiki torches and chants of “Jews will not replace us” in the distance…

      Isn’t antisemitism a hard sell to Harris who is a Presidential candidate that is married to a Jewish man?

        You would think so, but I’ve heard it on talk radio already. Verbatim: “Harris didn’t pick Shapiro because Democrats hate Jews!”

        Uh, there’s one major party that is so hard-up for votes that they now welcome neo-Nazis to their convention, and it’s not the Democrats…

          I mean, I’ve also heard them parrot Russian propaganda that Zelensky is a nazi despite being, you know, jewish. Logic doesn’t really enter their minds.

          Yes, Harris, whose husband is Jewish, hates Jews.

          I know reality means nothing to them, but it makes their floundering all the more funny.

        They call Bernie Sanders antisemitic. Factual reality is absolutely irrelevant to the shit spewing from their mouths.
