Minnesota Governor Tim Walz encouraged Democrats to be ‘meaner’ and to ‘bully the s–t’ our of President Donald Trump during a speech in South Carolina.
The failed 2024 vice presidential candidate was the keynote speaker at the Democratic organized event in the Palmetto State on Saturday where he delivered a profanity-laced speech that called on his party members to toughen up in their resistance measures against President Trump.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner, a little bit more fierce,” Walz said to raucous applause from the crowd.
“The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully,” the governor said. “And when its a child you talk to them and you tell them why bullying is wrong.”
“But when its an adult like Donald Trump, you bully the s–t out of him back,” Walz intoned.
He further characterized the president a “wannabe dictator”
“Donald is the existential threat we knew was coming,” Walz said at another point during the Saturday morning remarks, adding that, for Democrats, “it is going to be a challenging few years here.”
“We’ve got the guts and we need to have it to push back on the bullies and the greed,” Walz said during his remarks.
Despite the tough talk and foul language directed at the commander and chief, Walz also encouraged South Carolina Democrats to keep things light.
“Damnit, we should be able to have some fun and be joyful,” the former public school teacher said.
During the remarks which repeatedly took aim across the political aisle, Walz made fun of the President Trump branded “big, beautiful bill.”
“I used to teach Fourth Grade and I was gonna say it sounded like something like a Fourth Grader came up with it but that would be insulting to my Fourth Graders,” Walz said to chuckles from the crowd.
The Minnesotan also took the opportunity to heap praise on his ex-running mate former Vice President Kamala Harris.“Damnit, I would love to turn on the TV and see her instead of what we see every day,” Walz said to applause, further characterizing Harris as “well-accomplished.”
Walz’s glib and blue-collar manner during public speeches has previously ended up with him in hot water when he took aim at carmaker Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk.
The governor celebrated a drop in the stock price for the electric car company saying it gave him “a little boost during the day.”
Walz later called himself a “knucklehead” when it was revealed that the state of Minnesota’s pension fund owns shares of Tesla.
