Let’s be real—when it comes to phony political stunts, the Harris Campaign leads by a mile. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, or as we now lovingly call him, Tampon Tim, was caught on camera fumbling to load a shotgun during a staged pheasant hunt. Yes, you read that right—this “lifelong hunter” couldn’t even figure out how to load his own weapon. The moment was pure gold, and it’s going to take more than a heavily edited campaign ad to undo the damage from this one. I mean, how do you mess that up so badly?
The Farce Begins
So, what do you do when you’re a Democrat, and your polling numbers among male voters are plummeting faster than Biden’s cognitive abilities? You put on your best plaid shirt, grab a shotgun, and head out to the field for some good old-fashioned hunting, of course! Or at least, that’s what Tampon Tim did. Because nothing says “I’m just like you” quite like pretending to know how to use a gun, right?
Walz, who has a long history of calling for “common sense” gun control, suddenly decided to remind voters of his Midwestern roots and gun ownership. But here’s the thing: just because you own a gun doesn’t mean you know how to use one. It’s like me saying I own a piano—doesn’t mean I’m about to play Beethoven’s Fifth. The sad irony here is that Walz’s attempts to win over the Rust Belt were overshadowed by the fact that he looked like a man who had never even touched a shotgun before.
Social Media Meltdown: The Roast of Tampon Tim
The internet had a field day with this, as it should. Conservative commentators and gun-rights advocates tore into Walz’s embarrassing performance. Country singer John Rich nailed it when he tweeted, “Tim Walz claimed he carried ‘weapons of war in combat’ but he can’t load a shotgun? This guy is beyond weak. My little sister could beat him up.”
Let that sink in—weapons of war but can’t even load a 12-gauge semi-automatic. My guess is that this is the same guy who needs instructions to open a bag of potato chips.
Even better, Walz didn’t even fire a single shot during the entire three-hour hunt. According to CBS News, not only did he struggle with his firearm, but he also didn’t bag any game. At this point, I’m wondering if the birds knew to stay away from this guy because even they couldn’t take him seriously.
Elmer Fudd 2.0
One of the best parts of this entire debacle is the comparisons that started rolling in. Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong shared a side-by-side photo of Walz and none other than Elmer Fudd, the bumbling cartoon character who never quite figured out how to catch Bugs Bunny. The resemblance is uncanny—both in appearance and sheer incompetence.
And let’s not forget the cherry on top: “Stolen Valor.” Earlier in his political career, Walz faced accusations of embellishing his military service. Now, after watching him struggle with a basic shotgun, those criticisms don’t seem so far-fetched. Conservative commentator Jason Robertson summed it up perfectly: “After Watching Tim Walz trying to handle a shotgun, I officially retract any criticism from him avoiding combat zones… He’s so bad with a weapon that he saved American Lives skipping the War Zone.”
I mean, can you imagine this guy in a real combat situation? He’d probably be the first one to ask for a “timeout.”
Kamala’s Right-Hand Man
The icing on this already glorious cake is that this isn’t just some random stunt—this is the guy Vice President Kamala Harris handpicked as her running mate. Yep, this is the man who’s supposed to appeal to the Rust Belt, win over those swing voters, and show everyone that the Harris-Walz ticket is in touch with the common man. You can’t make this stuff up.
Instead, all they’ve managed to do is highlight how disconnected they are from reality. It’s laughable that the Harris campaign thought Walz, with his failed attempt at pheasant hunting, would resonate with hardworking, gun-owning Americans. This staged spectacle did the exact opposite, showing us once again how out of touch Democrats are with the real world.
Final Thoughts: Just Stop
Look, here’s some free advice for the Harris-Walz campaign: just stop. Stop pretending to be something you’re not. No one’s buying it, especially when you put on an embarrassing display like this. Tampon Tim might want to consider sticking to what he knows—whatever that is—because it sure as hell isn’t hunting or guns.
We’ve seen this act before, and it’s always the same. Democrats love to trot out some fake “regular guy” persona every election cycle, thinking they can fool voters into believing they’re just like them. But here’s the thing: you can’t fake authenticity. And you can’t teach someone like Walz to be genuine, no matter how many photo ops you throw at him.
In the end, all this did was give us one more reason to laugh at the clown show that is the Harris-Walz campaign. It’s almost too easy.

Load shotgun, aim at feet, pull trigger
Just remember that this the guy who shirked his responsibilities and let Minneapolis burn. Who needs this kind of person in charge of anything. We are not fooled.
We all know that this was staged for the cameras……BUT……being out in the field, with a shotgun in his possession, did he actually HAVE a HUNTING LICENSE ? If not, that was at least a violation of state fish & game laws. Did he have a HUNTER’S CERTIFICATE (if required) to be out there with a firearm ?
Don’t matter if he even fired a shot or got a bird, game laws don’t care if you’re successful or not, the Law is the Law !
Oh well he’s a real masculine man he doesn’t even know how to load a shotgun I bet the first time he laid hands on that thing that’s the first thing I do when I get a weapon to figure out how to load it and unload it if there’s a round in the chamber you do it safely though you don’t wave a gun around I’m surprised he didn’t shoot somebody like Cheney did I wouldn’t hunt with that man I wouldn’t follow him into a candy store if he was buying all the candy I’m sorry semper Fi
He is a democrat, and they hate guns, so what is Tampon Tim trying to prove or suggest? If he can’t load a shotgun, he does not need to have one in his hands. It is my guess that the Chinese don’t teach gun control and use to teachers.
What a buffoon. The guy is a disaster. My friend in MN calls him Humpty Dumpty.
Many noticed the Walz incarnation of Elmer Fudd. I placed that as part of the Harris-Walz team. It is the Kwazy Wabbit-Elmer Fudd ticket.
Obviously Tim doesn’t know how to load a gun (thank God), but maybe he knows how to “load” a tampon?????
He even has chaps on. What a baffoon. Pesky wabbbits.
And he is the person, that if something happens with Kanala, will be in charge of our security? God help us all.
Pathetic!! And this is the person Harris chose as her backup.

It’s interesting to see how our ideas align in some areas, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! Thanks again for sharing such valuable information. Keep up the great work!
Harris/Walz: What a horrible team up.
I remember a few videos of Obama going hunting and they proved his was all fake by showing the smoke/flash coming out of the middle of the barrel instead of the end of the riffle. I think Democrats should stop trying to prove they are real guys who go hunting.
With one hand, hold the receiver upside down, with the loading port up. Insert shot shells. Not only ignorant, but too arrogant to ask. Does the ” Command Sergeant Major” know which end goes against the shoulder ?
