Minnesota Governor Tim Walz set himself up for a brutal reality check after claiming that MAGA Republicans are supposedly “scared” of his masculinity, as reported by The Daily Mail.
Social media had a field day roasting the failed vice presidential candidate, who still seems bewildered about why he lost.
Walz made his laughable assertion during a conversation with California Governor Gavin Newsom on the latter’s new podcast. The two Democrats discussed former President Donald Trump’s appeal to male voters and lamented their party’s ongoing image problem.

That’s when Walz bizarrely declared:
“I think I scare them a little bit, why they spend so much time on me.”
His comment was met with roaring laughter from Newsom—probably the most honest reaction in the entire conversation.

But Walz doubled down.
“No, I’m serious, because they know I can fix a truck, they know I’m not bullshitting on this.”

Apparently, in his mind, this ability makes him a towering figure of masculinity, one that strikes fear into the hearts of conservative men everywhere.
Walz even admitted that Trump’s campaign effectively convinced voters that Democrats were weak, but he just couldn’t wrap his head around why.
“It just baffled me how much time they spent trying to attack me that I was not masculine enough in their vision.”
He whined about Republicans mocking the way he waved, how he drank from a straw, and his awkward public displays of hunting and mechanical skills.

Then, in a moment of delusion, Walz threw in some chest-pounding. “I think I could kick most of their ass,” he claimed.

Social media users wasted no time dragging him through the mud.
Conservative commentator Shawn Farash fired back, “Only thing that scares me about Tim Walz is how he loads a shotgun,” referring to Walz’s infamous struggles handling his firearm during a hunting trip.

One user, Atlas Einstein, mocked him as “Tampon Tim” and compared him to Elmer Fudd, while another chimed in, “Don’t confuse fear with cringe.”
Tampon Tim thinks he’s Rambo, but he’s really Elmer Fudd.

Mayson Burch added, “I have asked all the men in America whether or not you scare them. In fact, none of them were even capable of answering the question because they all broke down laughing.”
No, Tim, no. It’s not that. I have asked all the men in America about whether or not you scare them. In fact, none of them were even capable of answering the question because they all broke down laughing.

X user Nick Jay summed up the frustration many feel with left-wing voters, writing, “The fact that people actually vote for that turd is scary.”

Another user, Mr. Kleene, delivered a reality check: “Helpful hint: if you have to try to talk up and convince people of your masculinity, you are not masculine.”

And in what may have been the most fitting description, Frank Truslow labeled Walz as “mentally ill,” adding, “Throw delusional into his casserole of mental maladies.”
He’s mentally ill. Throw delusional into his casserole of mental maladies.

Despite all the mockery, Walz still seems to be grappling with the fact that he and Vice President Kamala Harris were resoundingly rejected by voters. He said:
“I’m probably the last person you should ask for answers because I didn’t get it done.”
At least that part was accurate.
