Minnesota Governor Tim Walz completely lost it during a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) summer meeting in Minneapolis on Monday, lashing out at President Trump, mocking his supporters, and even encouraging Democrats to burn flags emblazoned with Trump’s image.
During his remarks, Walz sneered at Trump voters, mocking them as “stupid frickin’ red hat” people, before taking things to a disturbing new level: he encouraged Democrats nationwide to start burning flags with Trump’s picture on them.
Walz: Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican.
“Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat.”
“What should I say today? I don’t know. Just make sure it’s cruel.”
“Who do we listen to? That guy.”
“Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him, and that will be fine.”
Now he’s talking about burning flags. He’s going to have flag burning or whatever, because he knows there’s a hell of a lot of flags with his picture on them that are going to get burned.
Tim Walz is a deeply disturbed individual.

This comment comes after President Trump signed an Executive Order directing the prosecution of anyone who burns the American flag.
“Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative. It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our Nation — the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot,” the order reads.
Walz didn’t stop there. He called President Trump a “manchild” with “fat ankles” and ridiculed his medical condition, dismissing Trump’s documented chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) as a punchline.
“We wouldn’t wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV and a bunch of nonsense. We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever’s wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today,” Walz said.
This is what the modern Democratic Party has become, an unhinged coalition that cheers for flag burning, mocks Americans’ faith in freedom, and clings to hatred as their only platform.
