Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn. ) appeared to have a major gaffe during Tuesday night’s debate on CBS News, saying that he had “become friends with school shooters” while discussing the issue of gun violence.
Walz originally stated he was opposed to a ban on “assault arms,” but he was later asked why he was opposed to it during the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate. In reply, Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ 2024 going partner said,” I sat in that company with the Sandy Hook families, I’ve become friends with school snipers”.
Walz claimed in an accident that he had “become companions with school guns” and that he had been an” NRA man for a long time. The Democrat governor and 2024 vice presidential candidate claimed to be” of an era” when he carried his gun with him when he drove to “go bird hunting after soccer practice.”
Following Walz’s blunder during the conversation, Trump released a blog on Truth Social, saying,” Did Tampon Tim simply say he has’ become friends with school snipers?’ He is n’t yet qualified to be Governor, let alone Vice President. ” Walz and Kamala DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES”!

” Walz made a very big mistake on Gun Shooters”, Trump said in another article. Does everyone believe that he is aware of what he said? Trump also questioned whether the governor of Minnesota would hold a press conference after Tuesday night’s argument to “apologize” to the families of school shooting patients and other Americans who were” so dreadfully hurt” by his statement.
After the argument, Trump questioned why Walz’s claim that he was “friends with college guns” was not being addressed by the internet. Additionally, the former president shared an image of a campaign sign with the words” Trump Vance ’24” and” Not friends with school shooters.”
Walz’s argument performance was immediately met with widespread negative feedback on social media. Andrew Pollack, the parents of a school shooting target, tweeted,” My daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting. The fact that Tim Walz has befriended class guns is absolutely awful. Disqualifying”.
However, conservative commentator Jack Posobiec suggested that Walz’s remark about school guns would be the”# 1 point remembered” about Tuesday night’s conversation. Posobiec noted that Walz’s blunder was the “eating the cats” time of the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate in reference to a remarkable range from the new national debate between Harris and previous president Donald Trump.
