Tim Walz is bizarre. No -- really. He's a classist jerk who lies with impunity. The Left is trying to spin him as America's cool dad because ordering police to hit your citizens with paintballs for sitting on their front porches is totally what a cool dad does.
Runza -- which this Midwest-based writer has never heard of -- is a ' yeast dough bread pocket with a filling consisting of ground beef, cabbage or sauerkraut, onions, and seasonings' according to Wikipedia.
German in origin, it's apparently a thing in the Midwest. This writer has lived in Wisconsin for 41 years and never heard of it.
But Tim Walz thinks this is a good way to dunk on J.D. Vance.
Do you think JD Vance knows what a Runza is? He probably thinks it’s a hot pocket. pic.twitter.com/gLru6zGJd3

He's a jerk.
What's the implication here? That Vance is stupid or racist for not knowing what a Runza is? Given that a Runza is meat in dough, it's essentially a hot pocket.
The subtle dig at poor Americans is also *chef's kiss*.
So glad the Democrats don't engage in name calling. Or something.
No one can afford those thanks to your running mate

Ground beef, bread, and onions? Yeah. That's out of the budget.
What were your favorite spicy foods to eat on your 30 trips overseas to communist China?

If we had a journalist class, they'd ask this.
They'd also ask Walz about some obscure regional food from the deep south and make fun of him for not knowing what it is.
Chances are you don't either

Ouch. But probably true.
JD’s family was probably too poor to eat at a Runza. Way to show your elitism again, Tim.

Walz is on record saying the poor people he knew didn't go to Yale, so yeah. He's elitist.
Anyone can learn regional cuisine. It’s as easy as learning the command structures of the US military branches.

Went right for the jugular on this one.
Jeezus, hardly anybody outside of Nebraska knows about Runza Hut.

But J.D. Vance is weird!
A lot of people don't know what a runza is. If they didn't have the food reference, they'd probably think slang, as in "Tim Walz runza way from duty when called upon."

Well played.
I'm Minnesotan, unlike @Tim_Walz , I don't know what a Runza is. Can someone help me out? https://t.co/M9L633rLZV

BUT J.D. VANCE!
He knows what a deployment is. https://t.co/cKR45JZrfV

Ooof.
America: Sargeant Walz, it's time to serve your country.

Walz: No, it's time for me to runza way! https://t.co/5NTQJTQijw
These are good.
Hey everyone, I'm not wearing a tie! I'm just like you!! https://t.co/TZ9R82LebS

Cool dads never wear ties!
There’s that ‘Minnesota nice’ for ya, being an a**hole every chance he gets when it comes to his opponent who grew up poor in Appalachia…

Politicians take such photos on the campaign trail all the freaking time. Whatever. But this didn’t need to involve JD Vance AT ALL. https://t.co/R5HcTLMO4h
If he holds J.D. Vance in such contempt for being poor, imagine what he thinks of all the poor Americans currently out there.
I had to search for “runza.” First time I’ve ever heard of that.

Food/restaurant chain unique to Nebraska.
Walz is a retard if he thinks this is a flex that will resonate with Americans. https://t.co/VpNKOW65B7
It won't resonate. At all.
