Tim Walz's Codename for Kamala Harris Is Extremely Weird

The more we learn about Tim Walz, the weirder he gets. For instance, the codename he uses in his phone for Kamala is kind of bizarro. 

Kamala and Walz have been on a tour of uber-friendly media outlets, hoping that blitzing voters with softball interviews will distract from the fact that neither of them has substantive – or truthful – answers about how they will govern if elected. Kamala is a lightweight at best, while Walz kind of bounces between self-righteous anger, with spittle a-flying, and overzealous glee, complete with those goofy, age-inappropriate leg kicks. He's an odd duck, to say the least.

Kamala has been hitting up the likes of Howard Stern, "The View," and "60 Minutes," which, surprisingly, pushed her for some actual answers. Meanwhile, Walz also appeared on "60 Minutes," floundered on Fox News, and breathed a sigh of relief when he sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday. 

As RedState's Nick Arama said of the interview, "It wasn't just a friendly environment; it was a sycophantic slobberfest." That's for sure.

More from Nick's piece on the Kimmel interview:

“I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we like you a lot," Kimmel simpered. 

"Honestly, and I can come up with no higher compliment than this, but you seem to me like the kind of guy who cleans the lint out of the dryer after every use.”

That's not an interview. 

It's apparent that the Democrat Party's vice presidential candidate, much like their presidential candidate, isn't good with words, self-expression, or coherent thought, which is why he landed in Jimmy Kimmel's chair. The Dems must be hoping that putting Walz in such a friendly environment would make him look more normal to voters. It didn't. He isn't.

First, there was this:

"I plan on waking up on November 6 with Madam President," he said. Ooh, ick. 

Kimmel corrected him, "This should be...I just want to be clear — you won’t be waking up together."

Walz said no, laughing. 

"Unless you guys have gotten closer than we thought," Kimmel replied.

Weird.

Then there was this:

The lefty Minnesota governor told Jimmy Kimmel late Monday that Harris had tried to call him in early August to tell him he was her pick for the Democratic ticket — except he decided not to answer.

“It was an unmarked number so I’m thinking it’s like a car warranty thing,” Walz told Kimmel to laughter from the studio audience.

He only took the life-changing call when he “got a call from a high-ranking aide” who “said, ‘Pick up your dang phone,'” he recalled.

Kimmel asked if Harris was now saved in his phone contacts to avoid further missed calls — with Walz revealing she was, albeit under a bizarre pseudonym.

Here is Tim Walz in his own words:

That's right; he has Kamala in his phone as "My Dry Cleaner." A tad weird.

Now, let's play a round of "If the Situation Was Reversed." If JD Vance had done something like this, so-called feminists would be outraged and take to the streets in fits of rage, chanting, "My dry cleaner! My rights!" The network media would break into their regularly scheduled programming to give minute-by-minute updates about how JD Vance hates women and thinks they should spend all of their time cleaning his clothes.

But this is Tim Walz we're talking about here. You give him an indulgent laugh, pat him on the head, and send him on his way. "Knucklehead" doesn't even begin to describe this guy. He's weird. He's angry. He's radical. And he has no business being anywhere near the White House.
