When you’re an anti-gun presidential candidate from a party with a platform that is dead set on banning guns, what better way to attempt to sway undecided gun owners than sending your running mate on a pheasant hunt?
That’s just what Vice President Kamala Harris did, as Tim Walz headed home to chase some Minnesota ringnecks on opening day. However, Walz’s escapades in the field seems to have brought more ridicule than support.
According to a Fox News report, Walz invited the press along to get some coverage, but blew the video op by bumbling and fumbling while trying to load his Berretta semi-auto shotgun. The bungled loading video had some on social media questioning whether he’d ever even been pheasant hunting before.
Conservative commentator and avid shooter John Cardillo was one who said Walz’s performance looked like it was the first time he ever loaded a shotgun
“Tim Walz claims that he’s a lifelong bird hunter, but this clearly proves he has no idea how to load or charge a semi-automatic shotgun,” Cardillo said. “I shoot A LOT of sporting clays with both semi-autos but mostly over-unders. He’s a first timer right here.”
Singer John Rich was perhaps the hardest on Walz, making a hilarious social media post highlighting the wannabe vice president’s weakness.
“Tim Walz claimed he carried ‘weapons of war in combat’ but he can’t load a shotgun?” Rich posted. “This guy is beyond weak. My little sister could beat him up. Ya gotta watch this.”
Of course, ridicule was not what the Harris campaign was looking for when Walz invited the media along for his hunt. Harris specifically chose Walz as her running mate because he was supposedly a combat veteran and hunter, hoping to pull some of the right-leaning undecided vote, especially in the critical so-called “Rust Belt” states.
Walz’s combat veteran status was later proven to be stolen valor, as records showed he never served in combat. Now, his hunting and gun owner credentials are being questioned after the Minnesota pheasant hunting debacle.
After watching the video, conservative commentator Jason Robertson posted that maybe it was better that Walz never was in a war zone after all.
“After Watching Tim Walz trying to handle a shotgun, I officially retract any criticism from him avoiding combat zones,” Robertson said. “He is a HERO. He is so bad with a weapon that he saved American Lives skipping the War Zone.”
Walz can pose as a veteran, a pheasant hunter or whatever he wants and he still can’t cover up his lousy record on guns and gun ownership. And just because he went pheasant hunting doesn’t make the Harris/Walz ticket any more pro-gun than their past combined records prove.
I’ve seen someone at 5 stand /every single week/ have a problem with their auto-loading shotguns.
> My little sister could beat him up.
What a disturbing way to reveal what’s really behind this. 🙁
You folks are fundamentally broken in mind and spirit, and should be ashamed.
They aren’t calling out a news crew to show off their gun handling either. I’d have at least practiced a bit before I went out if I were him. Preferably something cool like doing half a quad load then putting the last round in.
Then you have a pic of him under the hood of a car, holding an air filter. Dude probably has a manicure, no way he’s getting his hands greasy putting that in.
It’s an act. He’s playing to the base. Ditto Kamalala’s shoot somebody bs…
Klutzy weird uncle white guy, can’t load his own gun, hot commie chick of color with a Glock.
Playing to the base.
WTF is a 5-stand?
Dude looks just plain dangerous. Him and Dick Cheney should go hunting together with Alec Baldwin and that Pink-haired armorer. Bring tourniquets.
Don’t bring tourniquets or a first aid kit. Don’t call 911. Just let them bleed out.
Like trap and skeet…only different…there are stairs.
Studies show some 29% of Democrats are on some kind of anti-anxiety, anti-depression or anti-psychotic medication. When Trump got elected mental health care providers saw a huge increase in patients. Most were depressed because Trump was president. Under the Biden adm more Americans are experiencing high levels of anxiety and stress from financial issues caused by Biden policies. Looking at videos of a Trump rally they seem fine in mind and spirit. I read a Harris townhall audience was set up with pro-Harris supporters that were supposed to be undecided Hispanic voters. It was a set up. Trump had over 100,000 attendees at the second Butler PA rally. They have nothing to be ashamed of.
Plenty of Republicans are also on psych meds.
There’s a lot more to it than political ideology.
Our library had “Coloring Books to De-stress for Adults” after Trump won. No coloring books after Biden won.
If you need a coloring book to de-stress you aren’t an adult.
Somehow I don’t think the ratio is entirely supportive of your assertion. Last I remember seeing numbers it was almost 4 to 1 averaged. Would love to see current numbers as I think the last set was somewhere between 2017-18
After Trump won the 2016 election Conn College provided free crisis counseling for students and staff upset with the results.
How is that weight loss through wii fit going josh? Either way many men for Waltz may be calling for you.
Perhaps Dick Cheney can teach Walz a thing or two about hunting?
Can he take Kamala too?
If this was intended to sway POTG, then they failed miserably. This is evidence that Harris/Walz know little to nothing about POTG or guns. The bad decision to have Walz attend resulted in an equally bad performance.
It’s an act. The depressing part is not that they think it will win them votes – the depressing is that they might be right.
No, the democratic party did not chose Walz because of his gun thing. They chose Walz because he is the fascist the party wanted.
And 🍾YAY🎆 Kamala and Tim are goning to win and there is nothing a Trump voter can do about it.
Good times ahead.
^ Goning?.
I’m a Democrat, I get a pass.
Right?
> Dude probably has a manicure
Again, more obvious misogyny.
These sort of statements reveal your true character, which is /lacking/.
You folks are fundamentally bad, broken people. 😛
Misogyny? Like when you guys say a male can declare himself a female, complete with unchanged genitalia, and then beat up women in ‘women’s sports’?
Talking about a fundamentally broken person…a dude that pretends he is a woman. Not that I really care personally what folks do in their personal lives but the pendulum is going to shift hard the other way soon just like it did 90 or so years ago the last time this degree of decadence sprang up.
Just sayin’
I hope those confused people haven’t altered themselves so much that they won’t be able to subsequently pass in normal society again when the world becomes a very dangerous place for them to exist in. Many have made some mortal enemies in the mean time. FAFO
The definition has changed – used to be a guy that didn’t like women, now it’s a guy women don’t like.
I think it changed again. Now it’s a guy that Democrats don’t like. Obama basically just said that “brothers” are misogynists if they don’t vote for Kamala.
“beat up women in ‘women’s sports’?“
Another empty claim.
So when did a male beat up a woman in a sports event?
Had a few nasty concussions in girls volleyball caused by a gender blender up my way. Apparently field hockey had several injuries over multiple states but you already know all of that. Either way males have no business in female sports or locker rooms regardless of whatever paraphilia they may have.
Try the recent passed OLYMPIC games.
…Which Miner vehemently defended!
“Which Miner vehemently defended!“
Nope, I am unaware of a male beating a female in the recent Olympics so it’s impossible for me to have defended such an action.
You’re perfectly aware of the two male boxers that failed the gender test. They had XY chromosomes. We talked about it. We had a very long conversation about it. You defended men beating up women for sport. Because of course you’re for that.
“the two male boxers that failed the gender test. They had XY chromosomes“
Your ignorance of human biology is all laughable. There is no bright line, ‘XY equals male, YY equals female’, That’s not what the science shows us
“More Women Than Expected Are Genetically Men
Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY. However, genetically, a few women are actually men. They grow up as women with a woman’s body, and most only discover well into puberty that they are different. Danish researchers map for the first time how many women are genetically men. The proportion was higher than expected.

Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY. However, genetically, a few women are actually men. They grow up as women with a woman’s body, and most only discover well into puberty that they are different. Danish researchers map for the first time how many women are genetically men. The proportion was higher than expected.
You cannot see it if you do not know what you are looking for. One in 15,000 males is born and grows up as a girl. And neither these girls nor their parents know it. These girls do not discover anything different until puberty.
“Girls born with XY chromosomes are genetically boys but for a variety of reasons – mutations in genes that determine sexual development – the male characteristics are never expressed. They live their lives as girls and then women, and a few can even give birth. Our research, which is the first nationwide survey in the world, shows that this group is up to 50% larger than previously assumed. How these girls discover the facts and talk openly about their situation also varies greatly,” explains Claus Højbjerg Gravholt, who led the study and is Clinical Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine of Aarhus University.”
Miner, this is laughable and unscientific. Look at the title: More Women Than Expected Are Genetically Men.” If they’re ACTUALLY men, then they aren’t women! If you read the article, they’re saying that genetic males might grow up as women “in a woman’s body.” Yet, notice the qualifier. They are admitting that they’re genetic males!
What you are trying to say is that the presence or lack of a developed p-e-n-i-s determines whether someone is male or female. Miner, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if you pay someone to chop off your p-e-n-i-s, you will still be a male. You can even pay someone to carve out a pocket in your groin. Sorry, you’re still a male.
Furthermore, you are completely undermining your own tranz revolution. You’re like that based kid in the movie Kindergarten Cop: “boys have p_ and girls have v_.” You’re a terrible Progressive, Miner.
“Try the recent passed OLYMPIC games”
That’s kind of vague, which sport, which athletes?
Really? miner/roland. Every comment you post lately is an indictment against our education system.
Pathetic.
How is that misogyny? There was a trend at a time for the metrosexual. A man who would get manicures on a regular basis.
Looking forward to a mass “cancelation”?
The leader of the Republican Party is the only one talking about “mass cancellations”:
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” Trump said.
“We have some very bad people,” Trump continued. “We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the—and it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”
Mmmmm..
Smells like… Fascism.
He was talking about preventing a riot on Jan 6, just like he tried to prevent the last one. He wanted extra security measures and Nancy Pelosi denied it. Then, on Jan 6, Nancy looked into the video camera and said she was responsible for what happened. I wonder why there wasn’t extensive reporting on that? Hmm…
“he tried to prevent the last one. He wanted extra security measures and Nancy Pelosi denied it“
False, your own Republican party claims Donald Trump‘s senior Pentagon leadership dropped the ball:
“Home Media Press Releases
Transcripts Show President Trump’s Directives to Pentagon Leadership to “Keep January 6 Safe” Were Deliberately Ignored
September 20, 2024
WASHINGTON – Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) revealed that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. The transcripts released show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6 peaceful – including using the National Guard – which the Pentagon leaders ignored. This revelation directly contradicts the conclusions drawn in the flawed DoD IG reporton January 6, 2021.
In response to these revelations, Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:
“Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were safe. It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump’s guidance AND misled Congressional Leaders to believe they were doing their job, when they were not.“
No mention of Nancy Pelosi, (your fetish like need to lie about Nancy Pelosi is kind of weird).
In fact, House Republicans say it was Donald Trump‘s Pentagon officials who intentionally misled congressional leaders:
“It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump’s guidance AND misled Congressional Leaders“
At the time, President Trump as commander in chief had complete authority over all the military forces of the United States, why you think Nancy Pelosi controlled any of that is just beyond me.
I guess you could be lying about all that Nancy Pelosi stuff to support your delusional narrative, hard to say what your motivation is.
Lol holy revisionist history batman. Between this and gender confusion you are two squares away from winning my commie bingo card
“…hard to say what your motivation is.”
My motivation is the same as always. I’m for the truth. I’m for what’s right and good. This has all been reported on. It’s old news.
House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, who answered to Pelosi as one of three voting members of the Capitol Police Board, “succumbed to political pressures from the Office of Speaker Pelosi and House Democrat leadership,” was “compromised by politics and did not adequately prepare for violence at the Capitol.”
Pelosi and her staff “coordinated closely” with Irving on security plans for the Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 6, but Republicans were deliberately left out of “important discussions related to security.”
And, in an apparent attempt to hide from Republicans the fact that they were being excluded from discussions, Irving asked a senior Democratic staffer to “act surprised” when he sent “key information about plans for the Joint Session on Jan. 6, 2021, to him and his Republican counterpart.”
Chief Sund begged repeatedly for troops but has testified that Irving rebuffed him over concern about “optics.” During the violence on Jan. 6, Sund repeated his request, but help was delayed until after the riot ended, because Irving needed to run it up the chain of command, a.k.a. Pelosi.
“It’s not a question of how they had … they don’t know! They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more,” Pelosi declared in a video recorded by her daughter.
What you copy pasted is just assertions, you ignore the fact the Republicans conducted an investigation and I posted their official results above.
No matter what your claim, Nancy Pelosi does not control the military forces of the United States, they are under the direct command of the president as commander in chief as directed by the United States Constitution.
To suggest that the sergeant at arms can somehow order the military to guard the capital is ludicrous.
What I showed was reporting on actual testimony. I don’t see you refuting any of it. Have you not seen the video where Pelosi looks into the camera and says that she was responsible for the security failure? Her daughter was recording a documentary. Look it up for yourself.
Do you realize that your own post above exonerates Trump from the supposed insurrection? Why would he call for extra security to keep Jan 6 peaceful if he was planning on directing his army of flag wavers and selfie tourists to flood the Capitol so they could walk between the stanchion ropes and tell the police they appreciated them?
Josh put down the crack pipe and take a break from posting you are getting more unhinged than Miner.
how much do you get paid to post the same talking points here that you all pretty much campaign on everywhere else for the last 8 years?
better not be doing it for free lol, lmao

In the same way you are. The left was bought out by corporate billionaires years ago. The left really doesn’t exist anymore. gates, zuckerberg, soros and others replaced it with big money statists.
Social-lism and commu-nism cannot exist with billionaires at the helm.

Funny thing about posts like yours…. You come to websites with people you disagree with politically and feel the need to share your visceral hatred for them, yet I find a broken person someone who takes the time to do such things and finds joy in it. Folks like you see nothing wrong with despising half your fellow countrymen, disowning family members due to political differences, all the while strutting around with this sense of superiority. That seems broken to me but what do I know?
From jsled I’m getting an aura of insufferable smugness, worse than that from EV drivers.

Walz is going for the P.E.T.A. vote?, the vegan vote?. Reminds me of former “I go hunting & fishing” gov Terry McAuliffe. Terry was to deliver Virginia to Hilda-beast in 2016. In 2014 Barry S. took out former Va. gov Bob McDonnell from a presidential run (Barry used law-fare to convict McDonnell to a two year prison sentence). Glad the plan failed, SCOTUS overturned the conviction and Hilda-beast is still drinking box wine & waking up laying in her own vomit.
Yes, Terry McAuliffe, but don’t forget about Michael Dukakis and his joy ride in a tank, and John Kerry telling all of us about how he crawls around in the mud to hunt deer.
These gas lighting Devilcrats either never seem to learn, or perhaps is it gun owners that never seem to learn? Why any gun owner would vote for these jerks is beyond me. It’s sort of like asking how any Catholic can vote for Gretchen Witmer’s party after she mocks the most Holy Eucharist, or Jewish people voting for Hitler.
liar liar pantsuit on fire…
h ttps://youtube.com/shorts/QIfNG2hQAdA?feature=shared
I really can’t tell if he is trying to loar or unload that shotty. Either way no gun person would want to be anywhere around him as he fumbles the weapon like that. His trigger finger gripping the front of the trigger guard scares me. bad bad bad habit. 4 rules and all you never want to be pulling in that direction either inside or outside the guard. One of these days he’s gonna forget/misposition what side of the guard his finger is on and then it’ll be an Alec Baldwin moment
What a putz.
Knucklehead?
You know, it shenanigans like this that lend credibility to the assertion that the fix is already in place. These things are performed just to rub it in our faces. Nobody this inept could ever win the White House. It’s ludicrous to even consider. Yet, they just may. And it will be because of a few select jurisdictions, and it will happen after midnight, and it will be just enough to tip the Electoral College map towards blue. Déjà vu all over again.
I’m not a hunter. But I know very well how to load and unload my 590 shotgun. Which I got for it’s bayonet lug.
It was very surprising to me, to learn just how many hunters are anti-civil rights. They really to think the 2A is only about hunting. And they mostly do control the NRA.
Which explains why the NRA is against open carry. Against the bumpstock. And against anything that expands 2A civil rights. Because hunters in general don’t support civil rights.
Yes. That’s right I said it.
This country is divided in many different ways. And the so called “gun community” is very much divided.
In what way is Walz a fascist.
Uhhh, like when he trades the paintballs for real bullets.
Oh why oh why couldn’t Waltz have had a negligent discharge. It would have been hilarious if he’d shot one of the reporters or better yet, himself. A load of light birdshot to the groin would be all the more amusing because Waltz would have to explain that he’d survived only because he had no genitals.
He’s playing to the base. How can y’all not know this? Ditto Kamalala’s shoot somebody bs…
Klutzy weird uncle white guy, can’t load his own gun, hot commie chick of diluted color with a Glock.
Playing to the base.
But doesn’t this undermine his own position that he can speak with authority about how dangerous certain guns are because he “knows guns” due to his experience in the military and as an avid hunter?
This video paints him as a liar. Again.
Was Walz trying to load it by pushing the metal end of the shell in first?
(Shrug) Who cares? It’s an act. The only info to be gleaned is that crap like the video is what they think will get them the most votes.
sounded like more than three shells. what land was he hunting?
Good point. In my state, there’s a 3 shell max allowed in shotguns for bird hunting, meaning you generally have to have a plug limiting to 2 in the mag. And that gun’s easy to load. Just push the shell into the tube mag port, and it locks it in quickly. Even if he becomes VP or POTUS, I wouldn’t feel safe hunting with him. And I bet any previous gun outings of his were just photo ops, like this one.
Unless he’s left-handed, looks like he’s trying to load shotgun “backwards”.
Funny how he doesn’t seem to know how to insert shotgun shells into a shotgun, but he does seem to know where to insert tampons into boys.
Reportedly a Baretta A400 which is capable of accepting a magazine extension and has a stock with a characteristic that can function as a grip. Meets the definition of an “assault weapon” under HR 698.
“A semiautomatic shotgun that—
“(i) has the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device or a fixed ammunition feeding device that has the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds; and
“(ii) has any 1 of the following:
“(I) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.
“(II) A pistol grip or bird’s head grip….
….
(49) The term ‘pistol grip’ means a grip, a thumbhole stock or Thordsen-type grip or stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip”
Nice catch.
If he and Dick Cheney went hunting together we may very well be rid of two of the most horrible people to walk the earth.
Kamala is very proud of the Cheney endorsement. She keeps bragging about it.
The problem is obvious. Governor Waltz is loading the shotgun with tampons.
Did he try to put it in the buttstock their at one point ? SMH
The problem is obvious.
They’ have bought, stole, and blackmailed their way to the top and there is nothing we the people can do about it.
Does Waltz even have a hunting license and a Pheasant Stamp?
Is Waltz on a poaching expedition?
Has anyone checked the State records to see if Waltz has gone hunting in previous years?
I’ll bet a week’s pay that he was loading shells with slugs* rather than shells with birdshot into his shotgun.
Any takers for my bet?
* He was allegedly bird hunting–pheasants to be exact I believe–which requires loading birdshot rather than slugs into your shotgun.
Another case of left wing antigun hypocracy. How many times have we seen politicians try to prove a point by lying on background check forms, building illegal weapons, etc? Honest Americans check hunting regs, gun laws, and learn how to safely operate their guns.
I haven’t been able to actually see the birds he shot at yet in the vids I’ve seen, but I cheard something I thought was very typical of his supporters. He missed with each shot, but those with him said, “good shot!” Kind of like the way he and his running mate are missing the mark on policy and character, but the mainstream media keeps praising them as if they can do no wrong, while their opponents can do no right.
I would speculate that Governor Waltz was having difficulty because the shell carrier was getting jammed up by the strings from the tampons that he was loading.
Tampon Tim aka Elmer Fudd!
To me Timothy Walz has the same look in his eye as Mussolini.
She’s ah made outta gooda Italian iron and plastic.
Big Tim Walz misses another Chinese bird.
He couldn’t help it, he is only used to shooting the enemy with weapons of war that he Not carried into battle.
Harris/Walz the best lying politicians we’ve had in years.
I’m damned proud of them myself, the epitome of freedom.
Tim Walz Embarrasses Himself Going Shooting, Can’t Load A Shotgun.

Likely same for his NPR listening supporters commenting above.
Direct reflection of U.S. military current firearms training doctrine!
Direct reflection of Walz’ total lack of attention to detail! How long would it take for Walz to have received a class on how to load and operate THAT shotgun? Yet he didn’t care enough to do it. Did he pay attention to ANYTHING he was allegedly taught in the guard? That blunder would have gotten him and his troops killed in a skinny minute!
