The former vice presidential nominee offered a blunt mea culpa on MSNBC.

Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

    I’m not a genocidal maniac either, and that’s why I abstained. To teach the DNC that they need to respect us leftists, and if they don’t appeal to us, we’ll let Trump in. And look what’s happened now. Walz has apologised, they took genocide off the platform, and Kamala is going to impeach Trump any day now. We saved democracy!

      I’m glad you can support genocide and say it’s the only way to prevent genocide.

      I don’t believe that’s the case and I never will.

      We are fundamentally different species, divided on that thought; whether crossing an uncrossable line is okay to theoretically save yourself.

      I will never be sorry for not supporting genocide, as you will never be sorry for supporting it. Neither of us will change each others minds, we can only hope that only one of our species survived this admin and the rise of the far right.

        I don’t support genocide. I’m a proud Marxist-Leninist who will never vote Democrat, because I care about Gaza. And I’m not going to throw Gaza under the bus. Not for Ukraine, not for trans people, not even for the West Bank. I’ll never cross the line no matter how high the consequences are.

          So, you are opposed to Russia’s attempt to do a genocide in Ukraine, and second time, right?

            Yes, and I believe that I’ve helped saved Ukraine by letting Trump win. We taught the democrats a lesson, and tomorrow morning they’re going to impeach Trump and restore aid to Ukraine, because they realised they were all stupid when I didn’t vote for them.
