<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro responded on Tuesday to Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-expected-to-tap-minnesota-governor-tim-walz-as-running-mate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tapping Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz</a> as her running mate, calling the decision a &#8220;massive gift to the Republicans&#8221; and &#8220;political malpractice.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN and the Associated Press reported on Tuesday morning that Harris selected Walz. The decision is expected to be made official when the two Democrats appear at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>Shapiro celebrated Harris&#8217; choice, calling Walz &#8220;a radical Leftist&#8221; who has &#8220;a long history of insane statements.&#8221; He also argued that selecting Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro would have made more political sense, but since he&#8217;s Jewish, tapping the Pennsylvania governor would&#8217;ve enraged the anti-Israel segment of the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>&#8220;Picking Walz is a massive gift to the Republicans. He&#8217;s a radical Leftist from a non-swing state with a long history of insane statements, who presided over the burning down of his state in 2020. Kamala picked him because he&#8217;s not a Jew, and she&#8217;s Too Online™,&#8221; Shapiro <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1820807383607660655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire host <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1820809015284138375" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in a follow-up post:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>As someone who wants Kamala to lose, picking Walz is wonderful! It&#8217;s political malpractice! Why?</em></p>
<p><em>1. Not from a swing state.</em><br />
<em>2. Radical, underscoring her radicalism.</em><br />
<em>3. She rejected (((Shapiro))) to please the pro-Hamas caucus.</em></p>
<p><em>She&#8217;s not competent. And this pick shows it.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In addition to the Pennsylvania governor, Walz reportedly beat out other VP contenders such as Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.</p>

<p>Walz, 60, has moved increasingly to the Left during his time as Minnesota&#8217;s governor, signing legislation that <a href="https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-transgender-health-tim-walz-2a702340ec5facdb2bb6496e711facf1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protects</a> gender procedures on children, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/gov-walz-public-safety-highlight-straw-purchases-penalities/#:~:text=It%20is%20now%20a%20felony,prison%20and%20a%20%2410%2C000%20fine." target="_blank" rel="noopener">tightening</a> gun laws, and making abortion a &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/31/politics/minnesota-abortion-access/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundamental right</a>.&#8221; He also oversaw the violent riots that overtook Minneapolis during the summer of 2020 in response to the death of George Floyd. The destruction resulted in more than $500 million in property damage to hundreds of businesses.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Harris] is full-scale radical. Remember, Tim Walz is Bernie Sanders from Minnesota,&#8221; Shapiro said on his show, which aired live following reports of Harris&#8217; VP pick. &#8220;He is a radical leftist. It&#8217;s so mind-bogglingly stupid, and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so excited about it.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The mask is off. Kamala Harris has been attempting to present herself as a moderate,&#8221; Shapiro added. &#8220;She keeps switching all of her positions. She&#8217;ll send out her surrogates to pretend she doesn&#8217;t hold the thing now that she held four years ago. And now it&#8217;s been proved it was all a lie. She wants to please her radical base.&#8221;</p>
