Some of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s mannerisms are sticking out like a sore thumb to Tucker Carlson, who stated on a recent episode of his program that he thinks the Harris running mate is struggling to keep his true identity hidden from voters.
Walz, a former moderate congressman turned progressive governor, is “very obviously gay,” Carlson said during a new episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show.” He posited the theory to journalist Charlie Spiering who seemed to agree that the former Fox News star might be on to something. “Tim Walz is, well, very obviously gay. I look at him and I’m like, you’re gay,” Carlson claimed, crossing his arms and looking at Spiering for affirmation. “And I’m sure I’ll be attacked for saying that. Maybe he’s not gay, but he certainly seems gay.
Spiering predicted critics would immediately challenge Carlson. “Where’s your evidence?” Carlson replied, “I don’t have any evidence. I’m just saying the guy looks super, super gay to me, but they’re the ones always running on it’s great to be gay. Okay, if it’s great to be gay then why is it an attack on him for me to say that, and why would it be out of bounds to say ‘Hey Tim Walz, you seem super gay. Are you gay? Have you ever slept with dudes?’ If you asked that question, you’d be fired from your job!” Carlson exclaimed. It would be too “controversial” and “offensive” among media elites to tolerate a journalist asking Walz about his sexual orientation, he added. “This doesn’t make any sense.”

The Daily Caller, co-founded by Carlson, found several exhibits that it suggested give off more gay vibes than big dad energy. Users on X produced pictures of Walz’s flamboyant strut to the podium during rallies and a picture of his limp-wristed wave to the crowd, both stereotypical behaviors. “Tim Walz breaking the ‘Men never let their hands limp at the wrist’ rule. We Venezuelans have a couple words for this kind of body language,” one respondent wrote. Soon an anti-Walz feeding frenzy was taking shape on Tuesday night as ads for gay dating sites began to appear in between the comments and other users joked about a since-debunked story that Walz had sexual relations with a male student during his years as a high school teacher.
Others pointed to the “Just. Plain. Weird.” behavior by Walz, which included bizarre cheerleading moves, while serving as a warmup act for Vice President Kamala Harris. His mannerisms have encouraged an uncanny “Saturday Night Live” performance by Jim Gaffigan who skewered him during his debut and who weeks later appeared alongside former President Donald Trump at a major Catholic dinner to mock Walz and Harris. “Democrats have been telling us that Trump’s reelection is a threat to democracy,” he told the Al Smith dinner audience last weekend. “In fact they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically-elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris. In other words, all her dreams have come true.” As the appreciative audience applauded, Gaffigan turned to the Cardinal on his left. “It really makes you consider the power of prayer.
