Tim Walz slammed as he urges Democrats to stand up to Trump and calls him a 'bully': 'This is laughable'

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz urged his fellow Democrats on Saturday, May 31, to "be a little meaner" and stand up to President Donald Trump, whom he referred to as a "bully."

While delivering a keynote speech at a Democratic Party state convention in Columbia, South Carolina, the 61-year-old took jabs at the POTUS and tried to energize the Democratic activists, according to Fox News.

Tim Walz urges Democrats to 'ferociously push back' at Donald Trump

Tim Walz told the crowd on Saturday, "Maybe it's time for us to be a little meaner, a little bit more fierce, because we have to ferociously push back on this."

This came after he was accused of being "mean" for criticizing the Trump administration officials, including tech billionaire Elon Musk.

The former high school football coach added, "The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully. And when it's a child, you talk to them and you tell them why bullying is wrong."

"But when it's an adult like Donald Trump, you bully the s**t out of him back... This is a... cruel man," Walz said.

He also criticized Trump as a "wannabe dictator," noting, "Donald Trump is the existential threat that we knew was coming. It is going to be a challenging few years here."

The Democrat insisted, "We’ve got the guts and we need to have it to push back on the bullies and the greed."

On Friday, Walz, along with Maryland Governor Wes Moore, appeared at their party’s fundraising dinner and after-party fish fry hosted by South Carolina Democratic Rep Jim Clyburn.

Walz and Moore, who are apparently on a list of potential 2028 presidential candidates, have been traveling to early-voting states, Fox News reported.
