Hello, everyone. Today, we delve into a topic that’s been in the spotlight lately. Scott Jennings, a CNN contributor, has openly shared his views regarding Vice President Harris’ choice of running mate, pushing back vehemently against suggestions that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is a “normal” candidate.
Jennings poses an intriguing question. He reminded us of the 2020 riots in Minneapolis. He questioned, “Is it normal to let your biggest city in your state burn while you’re the governor for four days, destroying thousands of businesses and inflicting hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage while you stand by?” It’s certainly a thought-provoking inquiry.

Jennings’ response was sparked when an interviewer noted that a friend described Walz’s superpower as “normal.”
Walz, it is worth noting, has a history of stirring controversy with his remarks. As a former member of Congress from a Republican-leaning district, Walz gained attention after he dubbed former President Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, as “weird” during public appearances. This leads us to question: has the political discourse boiled down to “normal” versus “weird”?
In Jennings’ view, none of these behaviors align with his definition of normal. He highlighted two specific instances that, to him, revealed this team’s decision-making process. He first pointed out that Vice President Harris seemed to have conceded to the radical left of her party by deciding not to select Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate. Shapiro, who is Jewish, had faced a harsh campaign against him.
From Jennings’ viewpoint, Harris’ choice of a running mate who wasn’t Jewish, as talented, or from a state she needed to win indicates that her party may be tainted with antisemitism.
Second, Jennings implied that Walz lacked the strength or character to confront anarchy during the riots. According to Jennings, these two events suggest that this team is more likely to kowtow to the radical left.
So, what does normal mean in this context? To Jennings, this isn’t normal. The average American shouldn’t view capitulating to the radical left as the norm. Instead, it should be interpreted as a warning that this team might not align with their interests.
Harris’s team has yet to respond to these comments. It would be interesting to observe their reaction to this controversy.
He is Tim AWOLz.
Deep down, in quiet places he won’t admit, @Tim_Walz knows he went AWOL on his men. He has to live with the fact that he quit before their Iraq deployment. He’s a faker, a fraud, and a coward. He quit on his unit…for politics. #AWOLz pic.twitter.com/rViDS8nUug
