Eric Holder was supposed to be in charge of vetting Kamala Harris' VP running mate choices.
I don't know what they did to vet people; I know they didn't have a lot of time. But they surely messed up when it comes to Tim Walz. There seems to be a never-ending bounty of damaging stories about Walz, including stolen valor, which rightly sets people on edge.
Harris probably should have picked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro because he was more moderate and would probably have helped the campaign in Pennsylvania. Not doing so earned them accusations of antisemitism and toadying to the radical left.
Meanwhile, Walz — in addition to the false stories — is just flat-out weird. I wrote earlier about the wild thing he said about Kamala Harris, tripping over his words or I don't know what else when he called her a "prostituter" while he was at an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And he isn't any better at enunciating positions than Kamala Harris is.
But that wasn't all — I've been calling him the "Howard Dean Scream in the flesh," and he certainly proved that with what he did in Michigan.
He started slow. He said he didn't understand why half the country would be supporting former President Donald Trump and JD Vance and not him and Harris.
That's right, you don't understand, and you'll have a long time to think about it after you lose. It's simple: Harris screwed everything up with Biden and plans to do even worse with you. We already have been crushed with inflation, and many can't buy homes because the Biden-Harris administration has put them out of reach.
But Walz had no shame and tried to claim that Harris had brought down prices when Biden and Harris drove inflation to over 9 percent.
Inflation was 1.4 percent under Trump.
Imagine, after all that, thinking you can sell the American people on the notion that you are the pair to help them buy a house — after what Biden and Harris have done?
Who do they think believes them?
But hey, let's watch as they go true weird, and have Trump living rent-free in their brains. Watch as Walz precipitates a chant from the audience, "We're not eating cats!"
Who is it that's weird again?
But the cat chant may just be in a tight race for the weirdest of the day with Walz's wild gesticulations. This truly is the "Howard Dean Scream." Check this out.
He even lifted his left leg up a little bit at one point, and I don't even want to know what that was about.
Some speculated on what he might have imbibed, but whatever was going on here, it was just way over the top.
