Speaking during a Tuesday, January 28, appearance on MSNBC with host Rachel Maddow, failed former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz commented on what things have been like since he and Kamala Harris lost the presidential election to President Trump and Vice President Vance in November, saying it ahs been “pure hell.”
Such is what the Minnesota governor said when Maddow asked him what advice he wants to give to ordinary Americans who are upset by and oppose the actions and agenda of the new Trump Administration, a shocking blitz against all the leftist programs and actions that Trump railed about during the election. Walz took the opportunity to whine.
Beginning, Walz absurdly claimed that the right has been slowly boiling the leftist frog for years, saying, “You know that overused term, ‘The frog in the boiling water?’ We’ve been in the damn pot way too long. I think it is speaking up. It’s thinking about your neighbors. It’s writing and putting those members of Congress – look, there is no spine among those folks – but this is real.”
Continuing, the failed vice presidential candidate got to the “pure hell” point of his ramble about the state of things in America under President Donald Trump, saying that he is fatigued and living in a “hell” of disappointment and frustration. He said, “To the voters, I’m with this too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it. It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration.”
He then said that he is “soul searching” because he knew that this sort of thing would happen, but that he is “fatigued” regardless. He said, “And I’m, you know, soul-searching – what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.”
Walz then accused Musk of doing a Nazi salute at a pre-inauguration event, an outright lie that has been repeatedly discredited. He said, when Maddow asked him if Elon did such a salute, “Of course he did, but that is a distraction from what, I think you said it, this is ‘game on’ stuff right here.”
Then, he changed subjects and started whining about Trump’s plans to drain the Swamp, saying, “And I am worried with these federal employees because look, they’re in a tough spot, that some of these folks, especially those that are doing good work around environmental concerns, around justice for people, around, you know, criminal justice reform, all of the things that make our society better.”

Finally getting to the requested advice instead of just whining, Walz said, “So I would tell people stay focused. Don’t take the bait on the distractions. Surround yourself with people who understand this, and recognize the things they went after today are basically a big chunk of what society does, and people like to have clean water, and hospitals, and safety, and roads, and airports, all the things that they are going after… We have to find that voice. We have to push back. We have to be organized.”
