Obama pokes fun at Walz's wardrobe

“I love this guy,” Obama said about Gov. Tim Walz: “You can tell those flannel shirts he wears don’t come from some consultant, they come from his closet, and they’ve been through some stuff.”
Walz’s wife, Gwen, nods in agreement.

Mrs. Walz cheering at her husband getting roast is great! That's a solid relationship they have there

[jeffeverde]

That wasn't "poking fun". That was respect

[nobody]

That's not making fun of his shirts. He saying he's a real dude

[xvsvvpm]

Gotta love his wife's reaction. You just know she's tried to dispose of those shirts. That's OK, Tim. We love you no matter where you get them.

I'd forgotten how nice it is to hear people speak in full sentences, without cutting anyone down. Gentle teasing among friends about flannel shirts is cute. Feeling hopeful for the first time in a decade.

Obama was great. I truly miss the Obamas.

I loved Mrs. Walz laughing and agreeing with President Obama because that's who he is and That is why I love him. Kind of guy would change a tire for someone along the road 🤗

I met Barack back in '08. He was so funny and cool and spent a minute really talking with me- for no reason - except that is who he is

[emilydivis]

Tim Walz is the rare kind of politician where any attempts to discredit him just make his opponents look bad. Either they're hypocrites for attacking his character when he represents the best of what they used to be, or they go after his policies that are popular and effective. It's hard to look like the good guy while you're arguing that poor kids shouldn't get to eat school lunch.

Blessed are we all for having the two Obamas !!!! So brilliant they both are !!!

[mholland]

Walz is the kind of guy my folks used to call,
"Good people".
JUST the thing for a tired and distressed country.🇺🇲

[Sparkie]

It’s not a roast. It was a compliment. He literally said he didn’t wear them on a consultant’s advice (to win the rural peeps). He keeps it real.

[jtnxsuz]

I always ADMIRED THE WAY HE SPEAKS!!! SO INTELLIGENT!!

[bridgettehutton]

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an awesome tribute from President Obama to Mr. Waltz, tears came to my eyes. Go Kamala go Mr. Waltz❤️🇯🇲
