During Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, Tim Walz said one of the most puzzling statements in the history of American politics.

The Minnesota governor said “I’ve become friends with school shooters.”

X users reacted to Walz’s eyebrow-raising comments:

President Trump responded to Walz’s comments, saying “Why aren’t the after shows talking about the fact that Walz said, ‘I’m friends with school shooters!'”

“Second time he has said, ‘I’ve been friends with school shooters.’ What does he mean by this? Is he insane?” Trump said.

“Did Tampon Tim just say he has ‘become friends with school shooters?’ He isn’t even qualified to be Governor, let alone Vice President. Walz and Kamala DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!” he added.

Trump also posted these memes to his Truth Social account:

From the New York Post:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz fumbled a response about school shootings during Tuesday night’s debate against JD Vance, saying he’s become “friends” with the shooters.

The moderators asked Walz how he changed his mind about banning “assault weapons” over his career.

“I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. I’ve become friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it,” Walz said.

Pollsters, pundits and politicians immediately panned Walz for the embarrassing gaffe.

“’I’ve become friends with school shooters’ may be the worst line in any 2024 debate,” said political pollster and consultant Frank Luntz.

Fellow pollster Patrick Ruffini was nonplussed.

“See, this is useful,” floated Fox News contributor Guy Benson. “Walz saying he’s become friends with school shooters, when he meant victims, is an innocent misstatement.

“Repeatedly lying about his military rank, his DUI, IVF and Hong Kong/Tiananmen Square are not innocent misstatements.”
