Harris’ running mate faces renewed scrutiny after his ‘weird’ socialism comparison resurfaces

Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz was blasted last week on social media after telling a group of Democrats that socialism is what some people would call “neighborliness” in a clip that has received renewed attention after he was announced as VP Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate on Tuesday morning. 

“Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values,” the Minnesota Democrat said on a “White Dudes for Harris” call last week. “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”

The comment was widely criticized by conservatives on Twitter, including Manhattan Institute senior fellow Ilya Shapiro, who responded on X with “weird,” a reference to recent Democratic attacks against GOP presidential candidate JD Vance and former President Trump.

“Neighborliness killed members of my family,” journalist Karol Markowicz posted on X.
