Tim Walz Tells Gavin Newsom He Scares Conservatives Because He Can Fix a Truck

Wow, here's a meeting of the minds: Gov. Gavin Newsom and Gov. Tim Walz talking about toxic masculinity. Don't fret — none of us thinks of either of you as masculine. Except for the DNC, which brought Walz on as Kamala Harris' running mate to secure the Midwestern male vote. David Hogg said, "Tim Walz is the definition of what healthy masculinity looks like."

In fact, Walz thinks that their masculinity scares conservatives a bit, because he really can fix a truck — that wasn't just a setup for a campaign ad.

His identity isn't a football coach, which is why the DNC encouraged everyone to call him "Coach." Hunter, pheasant hunter, mechanic … none of these are what defines Walz. "My identity is not a beard and a truck," says the man with no beard. He must not have gotten the DNC memo to grow a beard like Eric Swalwell or Chris Murphy.

You can't even trust them around tampons.

But he served in both Iraq and Afghanistan … just ask him.

And he went hunting to show off how well he could load a shotgun.

Walz is so much more than hunting and coaching football and fixing trucks. That's why we all so relieve when Harris picked him instead of Josh Shapiro.
