Tim Walz Called Trump ‘Fascist,’ ‘Threat to Democracy’ Weeks After Assassination Attempt
SUMMARY
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), newly announced as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, has labeled former President Donald Trump a “threat to democracy” and described Republicans as “fascist.” Walz's remarks come amid heightened political tensions, including a recent assassination attempt on Trump. Despite concerns that such rhetoric could incite violence, Walz dismissed these fears, reinforcing the Democratic stance that Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), are “weird” and dangerous. Walz asserted, “Are they a threat to democracy? Yes. Are they going to take our rights away? Yes.” He further trivialized Trump’s resilience, portraying him as a bully lacking true strength.
