Wild-Eyed Walz Attacks GOP On Freezing Federal Funds, Rants That Musk Did Nazi Salute

Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz got positively wild-eyed talking about President Donald Trump’s plans to freeze federal funds, in the process repeating the Left’s insistence that Elon Musk— whom Walz sarcastically called President Musk — gave a Nazi salute at Trump’s inaugural.

“Republicans always want to talk about cutting government, Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. “That’s in theoretically. They never want to be specific because we know that these programs are incredibly popular.”

“I would say Rachel, that it was cruel; they planned it,” Walz moaned. “Yes, it was somewhat buffoonish but I’m not quite certain that we’re reading that right. I think this is a case of that this is a trial balloon to see how much tolerance we had. … It’s like you caught someone and they stole everything out of your house and you caught ‘em and you told ‘em to put it back and when you start lookin’ some of it’s still gone.”

He attacked GOP governors, declaring, “They’re never gonna bring this the legal way because no Republican will vote for this. And the deafening silence of Republican governors, these are my colleagues, some of ‘em are my friends, but shame on you.”

“They want to destroy the federal government,” Walz insisted. “This buyout of employees, because now they’ve threatened them.”

“The resistance is strong, you’ve felt it,” Walz declared, getting wild-eyed. “Americans, lo and behold, like democracy and feeding their children.”

“You know that overused term, ‘The frog in the boiling water?’ We’ve been in the damn pot way too long,” Walz said. “I think it’s speaking up. It’s thinking about your neighbors. It’s writing and putting those members of Congress – look, there is no spine amongst those folks – but this is real.”

Walz mocked Republicans for resisting Democrats calls over the years to defund the police: “They’re talking about defunding the police, things that they’ve puffed their chests up and say they’re good with, making their case.”

“To the voters, I’m with this too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz complained. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I’m, you know, soul-searching – what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.”

He then attacked Musk, saying, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”

"Musk gave a Nazi salute, of course he did!"
