Minnesota Governor Tim Walz wowed onlookers with a fabulous performance as grand marshal at the Twin Cities Pride Parade over the weekend.
Fans of the former candidate for Vice President were even treated to his signature "happy hands," as dubbed by WWE legend Kane in a discussion with RedState.
Walz was chosen as grand marshal in part due to, as Twin Cities Pride Festival Executive Director Andi Otto explained, his being "a steadfast ally to the LGBTQ+ community."
The Luv Gov was also honored at a Grand Marshal Reception on June 5th, where he was proudly hailed as "a lifelong advocate for equality" and for offering "unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community throughout his career."
That unwavering support includes "signing laws protecting gender-affirming care and banning conversion therapy as governor."
And, lest we forget, the entire reason for his beloved nickname of "Tampon Tim." Incidentally, the Grand Marshal Reception took place exactly one day before the Twin Cities Pride organizers hosted a conference on "Men Having Babies."
Anyway, back to 'Happy Hands Walz' and this brief video clip of his appearance at the Pride Parade.
Jazz hands have returned for the Minneapolis Pride Parade.

Democrats' $20M Study on Young Men Concludes the Obvious: Dems Are Weak, Republicans Are Strong
Look, there's no reason to judge a person who loves to express excitement through their hands. But what are we looking at here? It's kind of hard to believe this is the same man Kamala Harris chose because he could "code talk" to white men who love to drive trucks and watch sports.
"I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, because I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck ... that I could put them at ease," Walz said during a forum at the Harvard Kennedy School in April.
Imagine seeing this fellow walking into your fantasy football draft, acting like he did at the weekend's pride events.
I'm not sure what code Walz is working with, but it ain't truckers who like sports.
A study earlier this month, funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to the tune of $20 million, released preliminary results on why young men in America have rejected the party. The conclusion was, shall we say, painfully predictable.
The Democratic party is viewed as weak and inauthentic with their outreach, expressing disdain for males by constantly telling them they need to be ashamed of who they are.
The new study addresses that point, finding young men are "stressed, ashamed and confused over what it means to be a man in 2025."
Judging by his appearance at the Twin Cities Pride Parade, Governor Walz appears to be a little stressed and confused about what it means as well. But hey, Kane (Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs) did offer to toughen you up a bit, Governor.
"Democrats are desperately trying to change their image. They realize their narrative of effeminate males and weak females has failed. Now, they're flailing to change that narrative to 'we're tough guys, we're masculine men,'" Jacobs told RedState.
Walz has seemingly given up on trying to portray that image.
