Tim Walz Shuts Down Trump's 'Losing' Battle Against His 'Weird' Attacks

Tim Walz mocked former President Donald Trump on Thursday for “explaining” away his concerns with the Minnesota governor’s “weird” attacks.

“There’s a saying in politics: if you’re explaining, you’re losing… 11 times, 11 times, Donald Trump explained that he wasn’t weird,” said Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate as he got laughs out of the crowd at a Pennsylvania campaign event.

He continued, “I think we might be gettin’ under their skin there a little bit.”

Trump, in part one of a Fox News “town hall” on Wednesday, repeatedly referred to the “weird” description that Walz has hurled at him and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), on the campaign trail.

“He’s weird, I’m not weird, he’s weird. No, he’s a weird guy, he’s a weird dude,” said Trump of Walz in an interview with Sean Hannity.
