President Donald Trump mocked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Friday after the failed vice presidential nominee claimed that he could kick the “a**” of most of Trump’s supporters.
“I don’t know if you saw this, Tim Walz is now saying about Trump supporters, and forgive me, I’m just reading a quote from Tim Walz, ‘I think I can kick most of their a**,'” a reporter said to Trump as he answered questions in the Oval Office.
“Oh boy, he’d be in trouble,” Trump fired back. “He’s a loser. Yeah. No, I think so. He lost an election. He played a part. You know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part.”
“I think Tim played a part,” Trump said. “I think he was so bad that he hurt [Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris]. But she hurt herself. And Joe hurt them both. They didn’t have a great group, but I would probably put him at the bottom of the group.”

Walz made the remark during an appearance on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) new podcast this week.
“I think I can kick most of their a**,” Walz said. “I do think that.”
Walz told Newsom that Republicans were afraid of him, prompting even Newsom to laugh at him.
“I scare them a little bit,” Walz said. “No, I’m serious, because they know I can fix a truck, they know I’m not bulls****ing on this.”
