The GOP is scrambling to find a line of attack against Kamala Harris’s VP pick — and it’s not going well

Tim Walz has made his debut as Kamala Harris’ running mate, and Republicans are struggling to apply their standard villainization playbook to the Minnesota governor.

Walz has been making waves for weeks now as a good-natured, relatable politician with a particular aptitude for dressing down the Republican agenda in terms that any voter can understand — and the GOP hates it.

Republicans are scrambling to paint the governor-turned-VP candidate as a devilish Marxist hellbent on running the country into the ground — their usual stuff — while leveling a bunch of other really weird attacks. Here are some of their most pathetic attempts to turn voters against Walz.

    Well yeah. I mean look at this man. Free breakfast AND lunch. Sounds like the devil’s work to me. You have to be a good Christian like Sarah Huckabee and remove child labor laws.

    I mean, who hugs kids like this anyway?

      The kids in the top one are so excited about their newfound Freedom™ to toil away in the mines.

        Look at those kids. They’re wearing little suits and have right-wing political connections. Those kids are going to be running the mines.
