Maybe we do need a Civil War 2.0 – with guns.
Our politics has become so partisan and so nasty, using guns to settle our national political differences may soon end up being the only solution.
It’s bad enough no one agrees with what the other side is saying anymore.
But now when one side says something spectacularly horrible or “subtly” wishes harm on their opponent – and I’m thinking specifically about the prancing governor of Minnesota – no one on their side has the common decency to criticize them for it.
Tim Walz made a goofy loser of himself last fall as Kamala Harris's VP pick. And on Labor Day, he showed why he’s still the reigning buffoon of the Democratic Party.
Speaking in front of a partisan and apparently masochistic crowd in Duluth, Walz made a creepy joke based on the viral social media rumor that Trump had died because he had not been seen in public for four days.
Making weird faces, smiling, Walz said such a day would come.
“The last few days, you woke up thinking there might be news,” he said, with a nod-nod, wink-wink look on his contorted face.
“Just saying, just saying — there will be news, sometime. Just so you know, there will be news.”
Everyone knew what Walz was doing. He was playing to the sick and barely suppressed hopes of his audience and Democrats everywhere that President Trump was really dead.
It’s no secret. The deranged liberals want Trump to die – like yesterday. Like last summer. Twice.
That’s what they and 90 percent of the major media silently pray for every day – or would if they knew how to pray.
Democrats know they can’t defeat Trump on the political playing field — not with their starting team of certified losers like Walz, failed governors like my state’s Gavin Newsom, and a bench of minor league nobodies from Illinois and Pennsylvania named Pritzker and Shapiro.
They can’t outsmart Trump. All they can do is mock his health and not-so-secretly wish he would die.
The only decent Democrat I saw who criticized Walz for his lame and tasteless stand up was Harold Ford Jr. – apparently the party’s last moderate – on the Fox News show “The Five.”
Republican politicians like Tom Emmer, the majority whip in the House who’s from Minnesota, blasted Walz, who has made himself an easy target since the day he was picked as Harris’s running mate.
Emmer tweeted that “mocking President Trump’s health is a new low, even for you. Wishing ill on others doesn’t make you a leader—it makes you small. Minnesotans deserve better.”
CNN contributor and podcast host Scott Jennings called Walz “a massive piece of ….” on the air and other Republicans piled on, justifiably. The liberal media’s battery of biased pundits was AWOL, per usual.
Even if Trump had not already survived a pair of assassination attempts, what Walz did was as unfunny as it was reprehensible.
Threatening out loud to kill the president will earn an ordinary citizen a visit from the FBI and possibly a stretch in prison.
Wishing out loud that the president would die is politically childish and disgusting, but it’s legal.
Walz lost his mind over Trump long ago – along with the rest of his shrinking party of losers.
As someone whose father was shot and almost died, I don’t think there’s anything funny about a president getting shot or wishing and hoping a president is dead.
If Walz had made that creepy joke about my father back in the day, I wouldn’t have gone on TV to criticize him. I would have flown to Minneapolis, gone straight to his governor’s office and kicked the … out of him – with a feather.
