Democrats have tuned up quite the closing argument for this election, no? Half of America is ‘garbage,’ which the media reports as a no-biggie when the President says it during a campaign call — but a national crisis when an opening-act comedian says it about an island at a rally.
Now, homophobia is apparently totes cool for progressives, too. During a rally in Michigan, Governor Tim “Snitch Hotline” Walz recounted how miserable working-class people had it in his state during the opening days of the pandemic, neglecting to mention that he was the cause of much of that misery. Walz wanted to make a class-warfare argument against Elon Musk for supporting Trump, and referred to him as “that gay guy.”
Nope, not kidding. Here it is:
WALZ: So now, I suppose it wasn’t too bad, thinking back to that economy, if you were a billionaire. Elon Musk, for example, say. That guy — that gay guy — [giggles] — Michigan knows that word. [Laughter] Look, that dude got a tax cut and the rest of us got shafted on the whole deal. How’d that work out?
…Tim Walz called Elon Musk “gay” on Friday — but the Harris-Walz campaign claimed the Democratic vice presidential nominee misspoke, leading to the inadvertent comment.
“That guy, that gay guy,” Walz said of Musk while talking about taxes on the campaign trail in Michigan.
What did the Kamala Harris campaign have to say about this homophobic — and weird — attack? Behold, the Biden Stutter Excuse has made another appearance!
The Harris-Walz campaign told The Post Friday night that the Minnesota governor “stuttered” while trying to say “that guy got.”
“In the video, you can hear someone in the crowd yell ‘dips–t! when the governor brings up Musk,” a campaign spokesman said. “The governor started laughing and stuttered while trying to say ‘that guy got’ — he did not refer to Elon as a gay guy.”
Ahem. Watch the video above and try to reconcile that explanation with the evidence of your own eyes. Did it sound like Walz stuttered into saying “gay guy”? Did he stop and correct himself? No to both; in fact, Walz giggled and remarked that he’d stuck the landing on the insult. He absolutely called Musk a “gay guy” and meant it as an insult.
If Donald Trump had done this, the Protection Racket Media would have had screaming headlines this morning accusing him of homophobia.
World class projection by a very light in the loafers prancer
Love when the people that accuse everyone else of homophobia throw “gay” around as an insult.
Musk has 12 kids, lotsa baby mommas. Changes brood mares like a champion race horse. I heard a weird rumor thing about Walz and horse seminal fluid. We’ll go right to the source and ask the horse. Walz is not the politician he would endorse……..
Walz is still way out in Left Field still waiting for ball to be hit his way and its been all Home Runs
The real Fascists in America are the Antifa/BLM themselves and the DNC aids them with the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders
