Tim Walz (D) as her running mate and are quickly kicking off their attacks against him, headlined by his handling four years ago of the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stevescalisegop\/status\/1820821854161862714?\">posted<\/a>\u00a0on X that Walz \u201clet rioters burn Minneapolis to the ground in 2020.\u201d House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said in a statement that Walz \u201csupported BLM rioters who torched Minneapolis to the ground.\u201d And Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), former President Trump\u2019s running mate, brought up the demonstrations in a campaign speech on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou think the black business leaders in Minneapolis are grateful \u2013 the working class business leaders are grateful \u2013 that Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down their business?&#8221; Vance said in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>The focus on the protests against police brutality in 2020 \u2014 which started in Minneapolis after a police officer killed Floyd by kneeling on his neck and spread nationwide \u2014 offers a preview of the Republican campaign against Walz, and the Democratic ticket as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP has been struggling since President Biden dropped out and Harris became the probable Democratic nominee, providing the party in power a major shot in the arm in the form of both donations and enthusiasm. At the same time, some Republicans have expressed dissatisfaction with Vance\u2019s performance on the campaign trail and dismay that the Trump campaign seemed unprepared for Harris\u2019s rise.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of Walz, a former member of Congress and second-term governor who has backed a number of policies favored by progressives, has provided Republicans with a new target that checks many of the boxes for GOP attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have called him a socialist and said he and Harris make up the most liberal presidential ticket in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told The Hill in an interview on Tuesday that Harris picking Walz \u201cmakes it easier for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a far-left candidate and choice. I frankly thought that she might try to choose a moderate, but obviously she has proven once again who she is,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>One GOP operative told The Hill that Walz \u201cmight come across as a Midwestern nice dude, but he&#8217;s a socialist and in a way that the rest of America is not. He&#8217;s going to be a problem for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The operative rattled off a list of issues, including Waltz giving illegal migrants driver\u2019s licenses and <a href=\"https:\/\/mn.gov\/governor\/newsroom\/press-releases\/?id=1055-578396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">instituting so-called red flag laws<\/a>, allowing authorities to remove guns from people who are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others.<\/p>\n<p>A second GOP operative said those kind of positions make Walz \u201ca Republican oppo research gold mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s before we get to the fact that Minneapolis burned down on his watch,\u201d the first operative added, referring to the 2020 protests.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), a top ally of and former aide to Harris, took issue with the characterization that Walz moves the ticket to the left, saying his actions as governor were \u201cbalanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But top Republicans quickly latched onto Walz\u2019s handling of the protests and argued that he was too slow to respond to them.<\/p>\n<p>In a press blast, the MAGA Inc. political action committee supporting Trump pointed to news stories about Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/04\/minneapolis-mayor-blames-gov-walz-for-ignoring-warnings-about-riots\/?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=ncl_amplify&amp;utm_campaign=240806-tim_walz_is_an_incompetent_liberal&amp;utm_content=ncl-38SpQeR5By&amp;_nlid=38SpQeR5By&amp;_nhids=nLNsD\">accusing<\/a>\u00a0Walz of not acting fast enough to send National Guard backup, and about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/minnesota-senate-gop-report-blames-gov-tim-walz-mayor-jacob-frey-for-slow-riot-response\/572729221?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=ncl_amplify&amp;utm_campaign=240806-tim_walz_is_an_incompetent_liberal&amp;utm_content=ncl-uSXjcXW8uC&amp;_nlid=uSXjcXW8uC&amp;_nhids=nLNsD\">report<\/a>\u00a0from Minnesota state Senate Republicans that said Walz\u2019s failure to recognize the severity of the riots led to \u201cdelayed reaction and increased violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Republicans, Walz\u2019s connection to the Minneapolis demonstrations fits in with their focus on crime in major U.S. cities and with a favorite line of attack against Harris: That she posted on social media in 2020 to raise money for a fund that paid bail for protesters in Minneapolis who were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>While bashing Walz, Stefanik said that Harris \u201cfundraised to bail out violent criminals from prison,\u201d while Scalise charged that Walz had been soft on \u201cthe same rioters Kamala Harris raised money to bail out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey&#8217;re a dangerous duo that&#8217;ll let crime destroy our communities,\u201d Scalise said.<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign and Waltz\u2019s gubernatorial office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/06\/us\/tim-walz-george-floyd-criticism.html\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that a Walz spokesperson said that 2020 had been \u201ca tragic time for our state and our country\u201d and that \u201cGovernor Walz took action and deployed the National Guard to keep our city safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And despite the discontent with the Minneapolis riots, Walz was reelected to the governorship in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Harris settling on Walz was also welcome news to Republicans who had become resigned to her picking Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D). Many had expected that the electoral factors would rule the day and Shapiro\u2019s ability to help deliver the Keystone State\u2019s crucial 19 electoral votes would be the deciding factor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy the hell wouldn\u2019t you choose the governor of the most important state that can run around the commonwealth for an unlimited amount of time doing ribbon-cuttings and openings and, yes, they\u2019re official government business, but he\u2019s the VP nominee,\u201d the GOP operative said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShapiro was the choice you make if you wanted to win an election,\u201d the operative continued. \u201cTim Walz is the choice you make when you\u2019re scared the left doesn\u2019t trust you yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butler argued that the vice president\u2019s decision likely came down to \u201cwhat kind of person she wanted to be able to spend that much time with\u201d and who could be an effective messenger on the campaign trail and eventually as her deputy in office.<\/p>\n<p>Walz\u2019s 12-year career as a member of the House before he became governor \u2013 unique among Harris, Trump, and Vance \u2013 also provides opportunities to find more dirt on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will certainly be combing through Walz\u2019s very long voting record in the House to pull out anything we can use,\u201d the second GOP operative said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mychael Schnell contributed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Author: Emily Brooks<\/p>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/4814329-tim-walz-republican-attacks-george-floyd-protests\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republicans are giddy at Vice President Harris picking Minnesota Gov.
