The knives are out for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz one day after he was selected by Vice President Kamala Harris as her running mate, with one Republican guest refusing to let CNN host Dana Bash off the hook after she claimed that the Democrat’s “superpower” is “how normal” he is during a surreal moment in American politics.

Scott Jennings, a conservative contributor to the network, blasted Bash after she credited Harris for choosing Walz, a midwesterner who has previously drawn praise from both Republican and Democratic politicians in his home state before taking a hard-left turn as chief executive. One day later, Republicans are leaning into claims that Walz presided over a catastrophic series of riots in the capital city of Minneapolis following the 2020 death of George Floyd and spotlighted violence that occurred during a nationwide summer of unrest. Jennings carried the torch in his reply to Bash.

“Is he [normal]?” Jennings asked in response. “I don’t know. Is it normal to let the biggest city in your state burn while you’re the Governor for four days destroying thousands of businesses, hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage, while you do nothing?” He continued, “Is it normal for your wife to say she opened the window so she could let the smell of tire fires waft in so they could take in the smells of this radical chaos and anarchy on the streets of Minneapolis? I don’t view any of this as normal. I view this through the lens of decision-making.”

“In two cases, they’ve showed us who they are. Kamala Harris absolutely bowed down to the radical left by not giving [Joshua] Shapiro [VP],” Jennings said, a reference to the Jewish Pennsylvania governor who Harris advisors feared would inflame tensions with pro-Palestinian activists making antisemitic criticisms of him known. “There was a nasty campaign run against him. Everybody knows it. Nobody wants to admit it but everybody knows it. And she wound up choosing the person who was not Jewish and not as talented, and not from the state that she has to win.”

Gov. Walz on Tuesday delivered a well-received speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago where he promised to represent blue-collar Americans in flyover county that party elites have largely ignored in recent years. However, his selection by Harris is also a sign that going with Gov. Shapiro to gain an advantage in the swing state of Pennsylvania would leave far-left extremists in the Democratic Party discontent just as she hopes to earn their support following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race. Biden had garnered heavy criticism from the left for refusing to call for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

“Everybody could see that [Shapiro] was the best choice, but she couldn’t do it because the party is somewhat awash in antisemitism,” Jennings said. “And for Walz, when he did what he did during the riots, to me, it was him saying ‘I don’t have the. strength or the character to stand up to this anarchy.’ So in two big decision points for this ticket, they’ve showed us they will always bow down to the radical left. So if you want to talk about normal, to the normal people in this country, bowing down to the radical left is not normal, it shouldn’t be normal, and it should be a flashing red light to the normies of America that this is not the ticket for you.”

Another line of attack being tested against Gov. Walz is the highlighting of unanswered questions about his past military service. On Tuesday two former military officers who knew Walz during his time in the National Guard insinuated he was guilty of “stolen valor” when running for Congress on a military title that was later rescinded.
