Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, responded to criticism regarding his gun-handling abilities during a Monday appearance on The View. Host Joy Behar questioned Walz about conservative critiques following a campaign-staged hunting event.
“Right now, right-wingers are coming after you for how you handle your shotgun,” Behar remarked during the interview.
Walz defended his skills, stating, “Well, I can shoot better than all of ’em. I got the trophies to prove it.”

Lmao.

The interview follows an event two weekends ago where Walz invited media to cover his participation in an annual pheasant hunt. The event came amid reports of the Harris-Walz campaign’s struggle to garner support among male voters, prompting some to label the hunt as a calculated attempt to boost the Democratic ticket’s appeal with men.
The hunt and Walz’s performance quickly became a topic of ridicule on social media. Critics highlighted footage that appeared to show the governor struggling to load his shotgun. Some accused the governor of misrepresenting his hunting experience, suggesting that his difficulty with the firearm reflected a broader pattern of exaggerating credentials for political gain. The online backlash painted Walz as a novice in contrast to the seasoned hunter image he has cultivated.

LMAO the only thing Walz can shoot is BS from his mouth.
Well, we all know that little Timmy loves to play with his…tool. Maybe he should take Joy Behar on a hunting trip. With any luck, Walz will pull a Cheney or just invite the turncoat along.
What trophies? A 20+ year veteran of the Army National Guard can’t load his own shotgun? Yeah, that’s gun skills alright. What a great representation of the Democrat Party symbol.

A 20+ year Army Guard member should be able to load a shotgun with no issues. By the way, what trophies do you have for your so called shooting skills? As far as the View members go, you put lipstick on pigs and they’re still pigs.
