Former NFL Player Slams Tim Walz After Death Of Minnesota Lawmaker: 'Weak, Emasculated Leader'

He lost, so not bad enough, it seems. I mean, we could go quite a while trading sports figures who tried out politics on both sides of the aisle. All we could probably conclude from that is it looks worse for a party who successfully elects someone for their sports ball notoriety. It doesn't make it either look silly, though.
There aren’t a lot of MAGA Republicans in Georgia. There are Republicans, but most are not MAGA and the ones that are are in the foothills with bimbo brain Greene
 
Fortunately he’s being charged with state crimes so Trump can’t pardon him
On CNN yesterday they were talking about Federal charges. I'm not sure why that would be, but if the guy has access to a rich relative trump will pardon him for the $$.

The good news is it doesn’t look like he can bond out on 5 mil so I doubt he has rich and powerful connections.

And he needs a public defender so it is safe to assume that is correct.
 
The title should read "Some partisan asshole picks this moment to criticize Tim Waltz".
 
Put zero stock in a never heard of him, failed NFL players opinion.
 
The right wing ideas on strength are comical. What, if Tim Walz were "stronger," this random asshole MAGA terrorist would have just not been a terrorist? Sure, that's how terrorists work. Just be a tough guy and suddenly terrorism goes away.
Sadly this is what millions of young men voted for. The irrational perception that a tough guy will make everything alright. It’s dumb but plays well apparently.
 

Former NFL Player Slams Tim Walz After Death Of Minnesota Lawmaker: 'Weak, Emasculated Leader'

First, let's give the man credit: he not only threw around a ball, but according to Wikipedia, he has been:
  • CEO of The Brewer Group
  • chair of Center for Opportunity Now at America First Policy Institute
  • White House presidential appointee as the Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys
  • board member, for the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation
  • vice-chair of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice State Advisory Group
  • founder & executive director of The Jack Brewer Foundation
  • on the board of directors at the Geo Group, Inc
  • a Fox News, Yahoo Finance, & NewsMax TV Media contributor.
So he has been controlling for-profit prisons, juvenile justice, and the social status of Black Men and Boys for the Trump administration. Sounds like a tight little portfolio.

Now I don't want to pick a random gotcha quote, but this was a press conference, reported the same day as the killings, before rigor mortis had even set in. And his argument is that "Whenever you give Satan power, he shows his face. That’s what we’re witnessing now." Blaming Tim Walz for creating "chaos", calling for a "return to masculinity" versus Walz as "emasculated" ... and lamenting that in the good old days, "People were respectful. People could disagree and still have conversations."

So the way i read this is more or less... Over the bleeding corpse, he's saying that a Trumpist shot the Democrats because the Democrats are in league with the Devil. Tim Walz, being in the party that received the bullet, is "emasculated". By contrast, I suppose Vance Boelter with his big cowboy hat qualifies as a paragon of masculinity - killing the state representatives who would allow the abortionist to make a cuck out of any man who has planted the flag inside a woman.

I do miss "respectful" good old days. I don't think Truman, or Nixon, or Reagan, or Bush would have said this. Even the overwrought evangelists who tried to blame Hurricane Katrina on the gay population in New Orleans were at least not blaming a crime on the victim. Apart from Westboro Baptist Church I think, they did not come on after the Orlando nightclub shooting and say the people were shot because they were on Satan's side. No, I think this approach to politically motivated violence is something new in this country... and we're hearing it from someone in the business of imposing "justice".

It's bullshit.
Minnesota is one of the healthiest best educated states in the country, with a fairly low crime rate and a delightfully clean environment in most spots.
And Minnesota Nice is a real thing, the brutal winters compel people to behave in a more humane manner to each other.
 
Why the hell would anyone care what an NFL player has to say about politics? :rolleyes:
He's nothing but a knuckle-dragging neanderthol. The steroids have rotted his brain.

He needs to be told to have a coke, a smile, and STFU.

Same applies to everyone in the music and film industry.
 
There are a lot, or are you only counting celebrities who don't share your politics?

There are some asshats in Hollywood who happen to be racist scumbags, backwards morons, and other kinds of trash.

Supporting a traitor makes them a traitor.
