Tim Walz is, in a word, terrible. He’s weird, a liar, very cringeworthy, and — quite literally — in bed with Chinese communists.

He’s also Kamala Harris’ first major decision as the Democratic Party nominee and, as this writer argued back in August, it was a bad one. Kamala herself kinda admitted as much when she said she picked Walz when she was ‘sleep deprived’ (which totally gives us confidence in her ability to lead the nation when the 3 am phone call comes in).

He’s brought nothing of substance to the ticket and while Kamala will still win Minnesota, he actually hurt her polling there.

So here he is, proposing a new policy that will harm Minnesotans more than his policies already have:

More from Fox News:

The top Republican lawmaker on the Minnesota legislature’s tax committee is slamming Gov. Tim Walz, over ‘bad’ and ‘lazy’ tax policy pertaining to the state’s excise tax on gasoline, which the lawmaker indicated hurts lower-income residents in his state the most.

‘There’s generally some pretty strong resistance to putting anything on inflators, because that – I call it the ‘lazy man’s tax increase’ – because what you do then is you never have to come back through the legislature to justify another tax increase, said Rep. Greg Davids, the top Republican guiding tax policy in the state. ‘Some rich person, if [the excise tax] is on an inflator and it goes up 10 cents a gallon, they say, so what? But for the person in the district I represent, that drives 35 miles to work at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, or different jobs in Rochester, that’s a lot of money, and now it goes up every year, no matter what.’

Davids has been on the state legislature’s tax committee for nine terms, including three as chair and four as Republican lead, and he argued Friday that the decision to tie the state’s gas tax to an index was ‘very poor tax policy,’ citing its regressive nature and the fact that it is ‘hurting the poorest of the poor’ the hardest.
