A CNN commentator called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz a "complete piece of ****" after the Democrat was caught publicly musing about President Trump suffering an untimely death.
During a broadcast of CNN's The Arena, commentator Scott Jennings ripped Walz's remarks as "absolutely crazy" and beneath a public official.
"I used to say he was the biggest buffoon in American politics, but it’s worse now. No political official, no elected official should be walking around saying, well, I’m hoping we wake up one day and the president of the United States has died. Crazy. absolutely crazy.”
Jennings was reacting to Walz indulging false hopes of Trump's demise that swept the left during the Labor Day weekend.
With a wink and a nudge, Walz reminded his fellow Democrats that the president will someday meet the fate of all mortals.
"You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things and although I will say this, you woke up the last few days thinking there might be news," Walz said.
"Just saying, just saying. There will be news sometime, just so you know. There will be news."
"@Tim_Walz, mocking President Trump’s health is a new low, even for you," GOP House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District, posted on X. "Wishing ill on others doesn’t make you a leader—it makes you small. Minnesotans deserve better."
Pro-Trump account Johnny MAGA noted that Walz's morbid commentary came just after children were massacred at a Catholic school in the state Walz runs.
"Tim Walz tells supporters to remain hopeful that Trump will die soon," Johnny MAGA posted on X. "Schoolchildren were just shot in church last week in Tim’s state — and this is what he’s thinking about I can’t even put into words how disgusting this deranged freak is."
Walz became nationally known as the running mate to failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who lost decisively to Trump in last year's presidential race.
At the time, Walz was widely portrayed in the liberal media as an affable, folksy Midwesterner, but his policy record and strange, bug-eyed mannerisms were indicative of a thinly veiled radical.
His wife, Gwen Walz, infamously admitted to savoring the smell of burning tires during the George Floyd riots that erupted on her husband's watch five summers ago.
Tim Walz's latest troubling remarks are another reminder of the violent rage that lurks behind the mask of smiley, progressive "empathy."
Thank goodness voters rejected this freak at the ballot box.
