Snowflakes melting down over 'Big Meanie' insult—who cares?
Gov. Tim Walz has resorted to name-calling again. This time, he's playing the 'weird' card. It seems that anytime a Republican nominee steps up with fresh ideas, this old-school Dem pulls out the nursery name-calling book. Now, his sidekicks are joining in, pointing fingers at our Kamala Harris. The Dems are weird—weirdly out of touch and weirdly obsessed with controlling our freedom.

Dems Gone Wild: 'Weird' New Attack on Trump & Vance
'California Dreamin': Harris Steps In, But Can She Bring Sun-Soaked Memes to the White House?
'These People are Weirdos'
As Biden bows out, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz takes a swing at the GOP, claiming "[they're] weird"0. "Taking books away and wanting into your exam room?" Walz, the mighty meme lord, has declared culture war.
Harris hops on the weird wagon, posting a video1 of Vance's timeless Diet Mountain Dew wisdom, captioned: "It's getting weird..." Pete Buttigieg and Chuck Schumer, the dynamic duo, echo the message.
GOP Punches Back
Vance hits back2, calling out Harris' pronoun introduction. Matt Gaetz, the Florida firebrand, roasts the Dems3: "The party of gender blockers and drag queens calls us weird? OK, boomer." Vivek Ramaswamy slams the 'juvenile' Harris campaign4.
Expert Opinion: Dems Out of Touch
Political scientist Costas Panagopoulos analyzes the 'weird' strategy: Dems are implying GOP policies are "out of step"5 with regular Americans. But watch out, it might backfire and seem "petty"6.
'Weird' might be the word of the moment, but will it win the White House? Only time will tell in this wild election ride.
