With the election approaching, Walz emphasized the importance of \u2064securing\u2063 Midwestern \u2064support and criticized Trump, \u2063labeling him a &#8220;fascist&#8221; and implying he posed a significant \u2064threat to American democracy. He\u200c referenced\u200d comments from former Joint Chiefs\u200b of Staff Chairman Mark Milley \u200cabout Trump&#8217;s dangers\u2064 and shared his personal desire to move\u2064 past Trump&#8217;s presidency. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the tense political \u200bbackdrop,\u200c Walz sought \u200bto alleviate concerns among pro-Second Amendment voters, asserting that a Harris \u200dadministration\u200b would not infringe upon their rights. He highlighted that both he and Harris\u2062 are \u200bgun \u2062owners and emphasized the necessity of\u200d balancing gun rights with\u200d the safety of children, especially\u2064 in light\u2064 of rising \u2063gun violence. As \u2063polls show a tight race between Trump and Harris\u2064 in key \u200bstates, the rally\u2064 aimed to bolster Harris&#8217;s visibility and voter support in the Midwest.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Walz reignites attacks against Trump during Wisconsin sweep: &lsquo;Fascist to his core&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1739068\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wisconsin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Wisconsin<\/a> rally Monday evening, Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Tim Walz<\/a> (D-MN) led three Midwestern governors in making the pitch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-gops-newest-midterm-issue-menthols\/\" title=\"The GOP\u2019s Newest Midterm Issue: Menthols?\">swing-state voters<\/a> to put Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>With just 22 days until the final ballots are cast, Govs. Tony Evers (D-WI) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) joined Harris&rsquo;s running mate on a Green Bay stage to support the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>, who is in a tough battle against former President Donald Trump to solidify support in the Midwest.

Let that sink in, and don&rsquo;t be a damn bit afraid of saying it because that&rsquo;s exactly who he is,&rdquo; Walz continued before pivoting to praise Harris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But here&rsquo;s the thing, here&rsquo;s the good news: We get to do something about it. If you&rsquo;re like me, I am sick and tired of this guy, ready to turn the page on him, and we can do that by making Kamala Harris president of the United States,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>As the latest polls indicate that Trump is in a dead heat with Harris in Michigan and Wisconsin, Walz made an appeal to pro-Second Amendment voters that a Harris administration wouldn&rsquo;t strip away gun rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna take no crap off these guys. I know guns. I&rsquo;m a veteran. I&rsquo;m a hunter. Kamala Harris is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-biden-help-unite-america\/\" title=\"Can Biden Help Unite America?\">gun owner<\/a>, as we found out. We&rsquo;re not going to let them make this about the Second Amendment,&rdquo; Walz said, referencing school shootings. &ldquo;Because we defend the Second Amendment, but our first responsibility is the safety and security of our children.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has taken progressive stances on gun rights throughout the majority of her political career. As San Francisco district attorney, Harris supported a 2005 ballot measure that prohibited San Francisco residents from possessing pistols. Conservatives called the mandatory &ldquo;gun buyback&rdquo; proposal Harris backed during her brief 2020 presidential bid a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20240916\/has-harris-clarified-her-stance-on-gun-confiscation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>confiscation scheme<\/a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During her 2024 presidential campaign, Harris has positioned herself as a pro-Second Amendment gun owner, though she continues to support an &ldquo;assault weapons&rdquo; ban. Harris recently called the gun, which is owned by roughly 16 million Americans, a &ldquo;tool of war.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Whitmer focused her attacks on Trump&rsquo;s economic policy, telling voters, &ldquo;We here in the Midwest, we know his record of broken promises, right?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Midwest is best, and the world&rsquo;s got to learn, right?&rdquo; she told the Wisconsin crowd. &ldquo;We know Trump claimed he would save American manufacturing. On this issue, and like so many others, he was all talk.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Wisconsin&rsquo;s Democratic governor urged people to get out and vote for Harris as he noted that &ldquo;so many undecided voters&rdquo; have yet to choose their candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When it came time to picking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-backed-bail-fund-freed-alleged-domestic-abuser-now-accused-of-murder\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris-Backed Bail Fund Freed Alleged Domestic Abuser Now Accused Of Murder\">vice presidential nominee<\/a>, she had the good sense to pick a Midwestern, former teacher-turned-governor,&rdquo; Evers praised. &ldquo;And I know my friend Tim Walz is going to be an incredible, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-dnc-speech-in-full-read-here-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris DNC speech in full: Read here - Washington Examiner\">incredible vice president<\/a>.
