The Power Of Taking Back “The Word”
October 1, 2024Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told rally goers in Pennsylvania last month, “We can’t afford four more years of this,” despite his ticket-mate being in the White House since 2021.
During his speech in Bethlehem, Walz was discussing gun violence when he became distracted by an audience member who appeared to need water. Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, strayed from his speech to call attention to the rally goer.
“I’ll bring her home here quick, folks: Look, Kamala Harris made it clear these guys want to instill fear,” Walz said at the rally. “They want to tell you that [you should] just get over it, it’s a fact of life. This is the way it is.”
“[Harris] simply has said it doesn’t have to be this way,” he added. “It doesn’t have to be this way. We can’t afford four more years of this.”
Although Walz may have been referring to gun violence or Trump’s rhetoric when he cited “four more years of this,” the ambiguity of his statement led conservative commentators to roast the Minnesota governor on social media for what appeared to be a criticism of the Biden administration.
