Lawrence: Harris' VP pick Tim Walz just told Trump & GOP to 'Mind your own damn business'

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how in one line, Kamala Harris’ new running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, delivered the “single best political message” for Democrats on the issue of reproductive freedom and how Donald Trump knew watching Tim Walz’s debut that “he was up against another new candidate who he could not handle.”

People are tired of weird old crabby criminal Trump! The Harris-Walz team is the future and the team I genuinely want to be part of.

[brendabonyun]

He brought me to tears. That's not easily done. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK.

[caroledn]

Minnesota IS a happy place because of our fearless leadership in Governor Walz and his team. I am so proud to see him have this opportunity to help make this nation happy again

[seniorLu]

Yes, it was President Joe Biden who made all this possible, Gracias, Gracias Joe, what a great man. Love you Joe.

Tim Walz was a great pick for VP. Go Harris/ Walz. Take back our country, take back our democracy. Make our great nation safe and sane again.

[wtmayhew]

What just happened? Tim Walz is shockingly normal and likable.

[shirleykennard]

Wow, learned a lot about Walz during this speech! He will help Kamala! He will fight for our freedom from tyranny! WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!

[gyozasauce]

Biden was a truly great President and a true patriot by putting the country ahead of his own personal ambitions.

[ohreally]

Americans who love this country now know they have a great chance not to be stuck with a stale old orange criminal who has spread nothing but hatred and chaos since he came down that escalator.

I am so high on Dopamine...Project 2024 Harris and Walz in the White House.

[jd]

"So hear me when I say...."

and the crowd goes WILD because they have heard this speech before and they know EXACTLY what is is going to say.

I'm usually not a fan of hearing the same lines like that over and over again, but in this case, she is so on the money! It needs to be said over and over again.

Brava, Kamala Harris. With you and Tim Walz, 100%.

[camelsheit_on_the_walls]

Thank you, Lawrence, for reminding us that the man who made this possible, is indeed President Joe Biden.
A great man who is on the right side of history!
Go, USA, go, Harris/Walz!

[dontiavang]

OMG! I am from Minnesota, and this is Tim Walz at his best! Harris picked the right guy, who stands for America. He will push her to the TOP! SO PROUD OF TIM!

[Mill-Eliko]

Holy crap Walz out there saying what everyone wants to say, so proud to be Minnesotan

[mirandahotspring]

This is good! Two intelligent witty people against a bitter twisted narcissist with his weird offsider.

[shelleysteward]

Omg the more I listen to Walz the more I know Kamala made the right choice to win this election and save our country from Trump.

[barbarabauling]

That was ELECTRIC!! Well done President Biden. The hero of the hour. Stepping down is one of the most unselfish acts I've ever seen. I think he will be recorded as one of the best Presidents America has ever had!! I was horrified when people were asking him not to run a second term, but this energy is AMAZING! 💙

[sthuet]

More hope than I've felt in a very long time! These two are unstoppable. Make it happen, America!

[MsPaty]

How refreshing to hear such an enthusiastic, spontaneous speaker who can really communicate without a script!👏👍🏼🎉
