Democrats are sending bigwigs, especially defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, to whitewash the radical record of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) using taxpayer money to ensure that every male student in his state has access to more tampons than he can use.
In an apparent attempt to deflect Republican attacks, the former secretary of state and current motivational speaker praised Mr Walz’s “compassionate and common-sense policy” of stocking menstrual products in boys’ school bathrooms.
“How wonderful that you’re helping the Trump campaign promote Governor Tim Walz’s compassionate, common sense policy of providing free menstrual products to Minnesota public school students! Let’s do this everywhere,” Clinton said. Posts On Facebook, she shared a #TamponTim meme that showed Waltz’s face on a box of tampons.

The meme was originally posted by Chaya Raiczyk, who runs the popular conservative social media account “TikTok Libs.”
But Clinton’s use of well-meaning “students” seems like a deliberate attempt to distract from the issue under scrutiny: Walz’s conscious waste of taxpayer money to provide tampons to boys who, of course, don’t menstruate and therefore have no use for them.
Republicans slammed Walz for succumbing to the farcically self-conscious assertion that “not all students who menstruate are girls” — a point made explicitly by Minnesota Rep. Sandra Feist, who sponsored a bill signed by Walz that would require tampon dispensers in boys’ bathrooms at schools.

Many Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, are pleased that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President-elect Kamala Harris picked the ultra-progressive Walz as her running mate. A governor and former congressman, Walz’s radical record, which includes praising Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who has long held anti-Semitic positions, has proven a gold mine of Republican attacks in the first 24 hours since his nomination was announced.
