Conservatives have plenty of reasons to oppose Tim Walz’s vice presidential candidacy based on his record of lies and far-left policies. But another aspect of his personality has also attracted some attention since he first appeared on the national stage as Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson offered a scathing assessment of Walz’s mannerisms, concluding that he shares many of them with overt homosexuals.
As the Daily Caller reported:
Carlson went on to say that he will probably face backlash for calling Walz gay but raised a good point about the left: if liberals celebrate being gay as a good thing, then why would anyone be upset if he speculated that Walz was himself gay?
The left’s worldview — or, more specifically, the worldview of wealthy, white liberals — is rife with these sorts of contradictions. If abortion is a good thing, why would you avoid getting one at all costs and instead start a family? If a minor becoming transgender is a good thing, why would you never let your kid undergo a sex change? If a secure border is a bad thing, why would you live in a gated community?
Plenty of other social media users have also chimed in with their own perceived evidence:

Of course, this wasn’t the first time Carlson expressed a disapproving assessment of Walz’s campaign performance.
As Newsweek reported earlier this month:
On Tuesday evening, the Minnesota governor faced off against Ohio Senator JD Vance in New York. The encounter served as a stark contrast to the Sept. 10 debate between Harris and Trump, and remained a largely civil battle centered on the pair’s policy disagreements and competing ideologies.
At the end of the 100-minute debate, which Carlson called “a pure joy to watch from beginning to end,” Vance’s polished answers and even tempered demeanor were widely credited with handing him a slight victory over Walz.
“It is never a good idea to choose anybody for any position on the basis of demographic qualifications,” Carlson said, during his Spotify podcast following the debate. “Tim Walz was chosen by the Harris campaign because he’s a white guy – he’s an affirmative action hire.”
Newsweek contacted the Harris-Walz campaign for comment.
Carlson, who hosted his own show on Fox News from 2016 to 2023, said that Walz came across as “sad, but also very creepy” during the debate, despite benefiting from the support of the CBS moderators, whom he called “shrieking liberal narcissists.”
Here’s a full clip of Carlson’s recent episode:
