The Democrats are clearly starting to feel the heat, evidenced by their sudden willingness to let Kamala Harris and Tim Walz venture out of their echo chambers for more interviews. Unfortunately for them, these are mostly cushy chats with friendly media outlets that won’t challenge their narratives. The sole exception appears to be Walz’s recent stint on Fox News with Shannon Bream, where he encountered real questions—a rarity for a Democratic politician these days.
In this interview, Walz had the chance to showcase his so-called “middle-class agenda,” which translates into the same tired policies that have left hardworking Americans struggling with soaring grocery bills. It seems like a classic case of saying one thing while offering no real solutions. For those who believe they have a fighting chance against inflation under a Biden-Harris administration, they should brace for four more years of the same lackluster governance.

When Bream pressed him on trade and tariffs, Walz’s attempts to throw former President Trump under the bus backfired spectacularly. He claimed Trump wanted a hefty 20 percent sales tax, while conveniently ignoring that the Trump tariffs, which he kept in place, were still very much a part of his administration’s economic strategy. If tariffs are a bad idea now, then surely, they were back then too. Walz can’t have it both ways, and Bream wasn’t about to let him twist the narrative.
The topic turned to abortion, where Walz appeared to dodge responsibility for Minnesota’s legislation allowing unrestricted access through nine months of pregnancy. He insisted that his focus was merely on restoring Roe v. Wade, while Bream pushed back hard, highlighting that the laws he championed went well beyond those protections. Furthermore, Walz floundered when questioned about specific cases such as Amber Thurman, who tragically died due to complications related to the abortion pill. His assurances that removing language about preserving life for born-alive infants changed nothing were met with skepticism, leaving people to wonder about the true motivations behind his actions.
Bream also had a field day when she confronted Walz about his earlier remarks on “anti-Israel protesters,” which he hastily tried to clarify by distancing himself from the “pro-Hamas” group. This was seen as a blatant attempt to appease the radical left while simultaneously trying to maintain some semblance of moderation. It’s a classic example of a politician trying to straddle a fence that just doesn’t exist.
In what can only be described as a spectacle, Walz attempted to justify his record, often falling back on the tired excuse of “misspeaking” whenever he faced scrutiny over his past statements. Claims about his military service, IVF, and even a questionable trip to China all came under fire. Remarkably, he still managed to mix in more falsehoods about Trump’s positions, demonstrating a knack for misdirection that would impress any stage magician.
Bream didn’t let up and hounded him on the Biden administration’s border policies, which Walz absurdly labeled as the “strongest, fairest” ever seen. The reality, however, is that most Americans view the current situation as an “open border,” where illegal entry skyrocketed after Trump’s strict measures were rolled back. Walz’s attempts to blame Republicans for bad immigration policies only served to diminish his credibility further, especially when he was reminded of Trump’s impressive progress and border wall construction before Democrats undermined those efforts from day one.
To cap it off, Bream exposed Walz’s radical proposals in Minnesota that offer a range of benefits to illegal aliens—free college, driver’s licenses, and healthcare—pointing out that the taxpayers are footing the bill for these enticements. Walz’s denial of any alignment with such positions failed miserably, especially since Harris herself has advocated for similar policies. The truth is, when it comes to their track record, the Biden-Harris administration has proven to be a nightmare for American taxpayers, and smiling through the lies won’t make it any better.
