Tim Walz's disappearing act isn't an act

For the second time since Oct. 23, Angry Tim Walz wouldn't debate Scott Jensen. In fact, Walz is perhaps the first sitting governor of Minnesota who didn't participate in a televised statewide debate the entire year. If he won't show up for his job interviews, why should we think that he'll be there when things go splat?

Let's be honest about something. Tim Walz was AWOL for the first 3 days of the George Floyd Riots. Last weekend, the Star Tribune endorsed Walz, citing Walz's "steady leadership" over the past 4 years. As I said in this post, it's impossible to provide leadership when you're AWOL.

Tim Walz didn't accept KSTP's invitation to debate Scott Jensen on Sunday, Oct. 23. It isn't coincidental that this debate would've been telecast statewide. Rather than confidently defend his ideas and his record, Gov. Walz hid from Minnesotans that night. While it was disappointing, it wasn't surprising.

Traditionally, the TPT Almanac gubernatorial debate is held the Friday before Election Day. Tim Walz was up to his old tricks. He was nowhere to be found. The first time he didn't accept KSTP's invitation, this is what it looked like:

Friday night, Walz was up to his old tricks again:

There's Scott Jensen answering all of Cathy Wurzer's and Eric Eskola's questions. There's Tim Walz pulling his latest George Floyd Riots act. (That means he's nowhere to be found.) Tim Walz has a habit of this. Check this out:

Friday night, Tim Walz ripped the mask off -- again. He wasn't there for his job interview. When he didn't show up, Gov. Walz didn't respect Minnesotans. Throughout this campaign, Dr. Scott Jensen has answered Minnesotans' questions. He's had the conversations on key topics. Dr. Jensen isn't afraid of being available.

When people study Tim Walz's disappearing act, it's easy to figure out that this isn't an act. It's just who Gov. Walz is. The Star Tribune might endorse Gov. Walz for his steady leadership but I haven't seen proof of that type of leadership. Gov. Walz has been AWOL -- Absent With Out Leadership.

Gov. Walz hasn't told the truth. The DFL hasn't either. They've peddled the lie that all Republicans want to ban abortions while providing no exceptions. That's an outright lie. That wasn't just said once or twice accidentally. It was the DFL's campaign for months. If I can't trust the DFL to tell the truth, I can't vote for them. This Tuesday, I'll enthusiastically vote for Dr. Scott Jensen and Matt Birk. I'll also vote to end Keith Ellison's dishonest political career.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...
