Tim Walz Taunts Donald Trump With Key Tactic From His Teaching Days
HuffPost
Kamala Harris' running mate also declared there's "no doubt" that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz on Tuesday drew from his time as a teacher while calling out former President Donald Trump over his 2020 election lies.
Minnesota Gov. Walz, giving a campaign rally speech in Asheville, North Carolina, talked about Trump’s attempt to “violently overthrow” the last election result and declared there’s “no doubt” Trump lost and there’s “no need to have fair and balanced news coverage on that because there is no fair and balance, he lost the election fair and square.”
Walz then segued into how the high school students he once taught and the athletes he previously coached all knew that “you play hard, the other team plays hard and after the game, if you lose you walk across and shake hands and congratulate the other team.”
“In politics you take it another step forward,” he continued. “You walk across and congratulate the winner and then you pledge to do all you can to help them succeed because that’s good for America.”
