In a hilarious incident that occurred during the evening of October 25, Minnesota Governor and 2024 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz was attempting to give a rally speech and was interrupted four times while doing so, leading to him, as people commenting online, looking both upset and shaken.
Walz’s speech on Friday, October 25, occurred at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple in Scranton, Pennsylvania. During the speech, Walz rambled about everything from healthcare and child tax credits to gun control. Commenting on guns, he said,“Imagine [Trump] going into Bass Pro Shop, filling out the form, and the form comes back that you’ve got 34 felony convictions. They’d kick you out of the store.”
But, of course, the real news wasn’t that he spoke but that he was repeatedly and hilariously heckled. One of the funniest tweets about the incident and Governor Walz’s poor reaction to the heckling came from the “Bad Hombre” X (formerly Twitter), which said, “Happening Now — A visibly upset and shaken Tampon Tim is interrupted by hecklers for a fourth time as he tries to deliver a rambling teleprompter speech.”
Commenters on the post had their own jokes about Walz to chime in with. One, for example, said, “The way his head shakes up and down in sheer terror. Guy is having a mini panic attack. Pathetic.” Replying to that, another commenter claimed that Walz has acted like this before, saying, “This is what he looked like during covid— he would blow his gasket all the time. I personally wished this stage would’ve come out sooner on the campaign because Minnesotans have had to deal with this for years now.”
Similarly, another commenter said, dropping a slew of insults, “Bulgy-eyed assclown. He is a CCP stooge and a Marxist bimbo.” Another commenter said, “Harris/Walz, These two morons can’t handle adversity at rally, just imagine them in front of Putin, challenged and put on the spot… 🤔 🤦♂️ 😬,” to which one replied responded, “Putin would eat those two alive and pick the chunks out of his shit and eat again without a BURP.”
Another commenter wondered why Walz never learned to deal with heckling as someone who worked at a high school, saying, “For a guy that used to work at a high school, I thought he’d be better prepared for heckling.” Replying, another commenter joked, “Yup- he needed to stand there and say ‘I’m not going to continue until it’s quiet in here and if we need to stay after the bell rings that’s fine with me…’”
Also posting about the incident was the Trump War Room X account, which wrote, “Tampon Tim’s speech is interrupted for the fourth time. You’re doing great, Tampon!” Replying, one commenter asked why Walz always looks so worried, writing, “Why does Tim look like he’s always in a constant state of fear and panic?”
Another commenter noted that Walz always looks like he’s about to freak out and that he doesn’t look ready to be in a position of such immense responsibility, writing, “Walz was about to blow a gasket, he’s a politician who was obviously distracted when being heckled. Not a politician we want to be 2nd in command.”
