Media: Lizzo Is ‘Healthy,’ Vance Is ‘Weird,’ But Walz Is ‘Folksy’
The article discusses the perception of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz by the national media, particularly in light of his selection as Kamala Harris’s running mate. It contrasts the media’s portrayal of Walz as the “all-American definition” of a middle-American man with his actual leftist policies and controversial statements. ABC News commentators highlight his background as a high school teacher and football coach, suggesting that it makes him relatable to voters. However, the author, Eddie Scarry, critiques this narrative, labeling Walz as part of a radical left agenda, citing his support for progressive policies, such as legal protections for transgender health treatments and advocating for undocumented immigrants. Scarry also juxtaposes Walz’s depiction with that of J.D. Vance, who has been labeled as “weird” by the same media outlets. Ultimately, the article paints Walz’s candidacy as another instance of the media’s contradictory and selective characterizations of political figures.
How bizarre, alien, and abnormal Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz truly is was best captured in an ABC News segment that aired Tuesday just after Kamala Harris announced him as her running mate.
“Walz appears to fit the all-American definition of a man from middle America,” declared Democrat operative-turned-TV-frontman George Stephanopoulos. “High school teacher, football coach, member of the Army National Guard, before becoming a member of Congress, and now governor.”
White House reporter Selina Wang carried the torch from there. “Exactly, he really has that perfect backstory,” she said. “He also has those rural roots. … He has this folksy, personal, informal vibe that has really appealed to a lot of Democrats, and they believe that his rural backstory — the fact that he was a former member of the NRA, as you say, he is this former high school teacher, he was a football coach — that this can help appeal to those independent swing-state voters.”
It was like watching Rachel Ray describe the symphony of flavors in a Costco hotdog.
When people in the national media use phrases like “the all-American definition of a man from middle America” and “folksy, personal, informal vibe,” you can be sure you’re about to come face to face with a chilling figure, primitive in appearance and devoid of human empathy. That is Walz, a vehemently left-wing governor who says extraterrestrial things like, “I will not patronize you as a white man without living those lived experiences of how very difficult that is.”
Walz is not the “all-American definition” of anything. He’s a primordial creature adapted to live among the rest of modern Democrat Party leadership — the militant transgenders, the antisocial Black Lives Matter hustlers, and the white liberals who made it their life’s mission to strangle the American middle class.
He has literally encouraged foreigners attempting to get into the U.S. to break the law and jump the border. He ensured that illegal aliens in his own state can get driving licenses. In a room crammed full of transgender activists last year, Walz signed an order heralding his state as a “trans refuge,” affirming legal protections for doctors who pump up kids with sex hormones and perform elective surgeries on their undeveloped genitals.
He’s a freak, but apparently, because he’s white, balding, and has no accent, that makes him “folksy.” (The New York Times on Tuesday also described Walz as “a folksy former football coach.”)
The same media that tell us it’s beautiful and brave to be obscenely fat proclaim themselves to be the arbiters of what constitutes all-American “folksy” charm.
That’s in contrast to J.D. Vance, who the media have teamed up with Democrats to brand as “weird.”
To wit, everybody in Washington expected Kamala Harris to choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate, but, the Times said, Walz “jumped to the top of Ms. Harris’s list, boosted by cable news appearances in which he declared that Republicans were ‘weird.’”
In favor of reducing abortions and banning irreversible sex surgeries for minors? Ew! Weird! Passing out government IDs to illegals while publicly checking your white privilege? All-American! Folksy!
It was a weird VP pick. Then again, Kamala Harris is a weird person and now she has a weird running mate.
