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.

    At one point when he was talking about voting districts. He had referred to red districts as “mostly rocks and cows”. And well… Rural conservatives took offense to it like they do for everything. I still see billboards with that quote when I’m in the middle of nowhere.

      I’m sorry, I thought not having all that “big city bullshit” (imagine that was said with a comically over the top southern accent) was a point of pride?

      Like, literally, I’ve had family in rural Missouri and Minnesota and shit and heard that exact line before

      They’re only offended because a (D) said it
