Dear Van Jones: Came out of nowhere? He's literally a Governor.

[Progressive_Canadian]

Corporate owned CNN freaking out over a progressive vice president. 🤣🤣🤣

[robrushrules]

Van Jones, the only brotha you can count on to bring the potato salad with raisins to a cookout he wasn’t invited to.

I get that no one else has heard of him…but in MN, we know the good he’s done for this state. Not surprised at this wise choice for a running mate. 👏🏾

He's dead wrong, the Republican party wanted her to pick Shapiro because it gave them an angle of attack. She outmaneuvers them by picking Walz

[TravelingWithBlick]

They keep saying he's a high school teacher which he was, but he also served in congress. He chaired the veterans affairs committee. he's a Vet him self. He has experience, and he's down to earth.

I think I just heard a cheeseburger hit a wall.

“Only in America can someone you’ve never heard of…”

He’s literally the governor. Genius.

[cruisyguy]

You've never heard of TIm Walz because the media ALWAYS focuses on coastal politics when the real stuff gets done in the middle and definitely here in Minnesota. Study up people, Tim Walz is not a newbie to politics, he is real, he speaks down to earth, he actually gets sh*t done! And do not underestimate Walz, he is a firebrand when he needs to be. He is a bridge builder.

Van Jones, you’re totally wrong. Republicans actually wanted Josh Shapiro. Chris Christie was on air saying Kamala should pick Josh Shapiro. They wanted him not because they were afraid but because they knew he was weak. Shapiro is the democrats JD Vance. I’m so glad Kamala didn’t listen to the media or the consultants.

Josh Shapiro is awesome, and he has done a lot for us in Pennsylvania. I know he will be out there helping the Democrats to win this election.

[twinEAH]

Please, Tim Walz will wipe the floor with Trump and Vance. I am so excited to see this. He will not be pushed around intimidated. The Republicans should be very afraid of Walz. I already love the guy after hearing his speech! 🎉

POSITIVITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN USA!
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF FEAR TACTICS AND NEGATIVITY!

[dorothyrivers]

Harris made the correct choice. ✅ The pick should do no harm. 👀 Walz is a safe choice. He is well spoken. He brings in suburban men and women. He can also speak to rural America. Walz brings the correct attitude. The attitude of one for all and all for one. 👭🏿💃🕺

[natemortvedt]

I'm so glad to be voting FOR candidates instead of against a despot.

[LunaticTheCat]

I'm so relieved that Harris made the right decision in picking Walz instead of Shapiro.

[nlpnt]

Everyone from Bernie Sanders to Joe Manchin has endorsed Walz.

[WickedDandelion]

What I wish someone would say is, if you vote for Harris/Walz and you don't like what they end up doing for America, you can vote them out in 4 years. You won't have that same privilege if you vote for Trump/Vance.

[TheNaturemama]

As a pro Israel democrat I can say that I’m very happy with Walz as the pick for VP. Harris made the right choice. No one can connect with the moderates and rural America the way Walz can. As a hunter, pro gun Democrat that has many, many republicans friends and served a republican district while in congress, he knows how to reach both sides of the aisle. Soon enough the nation will know what an asset Walz is.

Van Jones continues to prove that he is ignorant and flip flops constantly. He doesn’t believe in anything. He makes me sick!💩🤡
