Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is arguably the most left-wing Democratic Party presidential ticket in modern history.
Both have been thrust into the political spotlight following President Joe Biden’s decision not to stand for re-election; Harris’ as the heir-apparent successor, with Gov. Walz has her running mate.
With the former under heavy scrutiny for avoiding the media, attention has turned to previous comments made by the pair as voters seek more information on the views of two people who wish to secure the presidency.
On social media, a clip from 2017 emerged of Gov. Walz addressing a town hall as Rep. for Minnesota’s 1st Congressional district, in which he said children as young as 10 could choose their own gender.
“These are children my son’s age, a fourth grader, a 10-year-old who, just wants to go to the bathroom… and their identity is male or female and they just go in that bathroom and use it,” Walz told the audience.
The Democratic VP pick has long held positions in support of transgenderism, including signing executive orders to make Minnesota a “trans refuge state” during his tenure as governor.
Many on social media were critical of Walz’s remarks in the clip.
Others presented actions concerned parents could take.
