Harris’ Choice: Anybody But Shapiro

Looks like Penn. Gov. Josh Shapiro apologized for his Jewishness, and all he got for it was a t-shirt.

Reportedly, the Harris campaign printed up alternate ticket t-shirts and signs, so they’d be ready for whoever the VP selection turned out to be, today.

The “winner”, so to speak,  is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, so they’ll need the XXXLs.

Shapiro, who won his purple state in a landslide, has great independent appeal, speaks fluently (now a rare quality in politics) and had been a robust defender, literally and figuratively, of Israel, abjectly tried to explain away his very life story and Jewish heritage, as,  you know, youthful exuberance. Said he “evolved”. Which is a hell of a putdown of…yourself, Governor.

So, if you’re young and you support the Israelis…you’ll, um, grow out of it??

Meanwhile, back to the drunk driver stopped while doing 96 in a 55: Tim Walz.

The guy who let Minneapolis burn for BLM. Redesigned the state flag to “reflect” Somalia. Declared the state a “sanctuary”. “Leaned into” lockdowns and loooonnng-running face mask mandates.

“One person’s socialism is another person’s friendliness”, said Comrade Walz on the Kamala kattle kall.

Imagine how afraid of Ilhan Omar you have to be to choose her preferred candidate over the more obviously qualified and politically advantageous ones, like Shapiro, or even Arizona Senator Mark Kelly?

The selection of Walz is more like a surrender: they may not be big in number, but imagine the radical, Hamas-loving troops that took over colleges this spring, now instead storming Chicago for the DNC, not to mention every American city, if Josh Shapiro got on the ticket?

So, it’s not so much that Harris wanted Walz.

More like she really, really couldn’t have the Jewish guy.

If Doug Emhoff is lucky, she’ll at least keep him around.
