Tim Walz's campaign ad mistakenly exposes his 'fake' attempt at cleaning car engine

SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA: Democratic Vice Presidential pick Tim Walz's major campaign ad exposed his 'fake' attempt at cleaning a car engine with clean hands.

In the three-minute-long video, the Minnesota Governor was seen working on his pale blue 1979 International Harvester Scout, and his hand seemed pretty clean despite tinkering with different parts in the dirty engine, per Daily Mail.

Tim Walz's campaign ad shows him cleaning car engine with clean hands

The viral clip is part of a choreographed video for the Harris-Walz camp as they try to portray the VP pick and two-term Governor as someone outdoorsy and handy with tools.

However, the inaccuracy in the video was pointed out by Republican communications strategist Brendan Buck, who told The Atlantic, "Having a good shtick is part of being a good politician. Walz always struck me as a bit of a loudmouth, who was one of those guys on the Hill who maybe seems to be trying a little too hard."

He added, "While it doesn't make Walz a bad person or especially unique among politicians it doesn't give him special status as the Authentic One, either."

Meanwhile, another longtime political commentator, Blois Olson, said that he believes Walz has proved to be a talented political performer but his acting to be uneducated and unsophisticated is just fake.

Olson said, "Oh, he is totally full of s**t. And he's also really good at being full of s**t."

Tim Walz to face VP debate with JD Vance

Tim Walz and GOP VP pick JD Vance will meet on Tuesday, October 1, for their first and only scheduled vice presidential debate. The Democratic VP pick will have the chance to introduce himself to several potential voters during the debate.

The face-off will take place five weeks before Election Day in November, as the duo will tour the country to introduce themselves to the electorate, and will pay special attention to battleground states that will play a crucial role in determining the winner.

Moreover, sources have also claimed that Walz fancies his run for president in 2028. He sees supporting Kamala Harris' presidential campaign as a stepping stone to the top job, per Daily Mail. 

Internet trolls Tim Walz

Several internet users trolled Dems VP pick Tim Walz as his major campaign ad exposed his 'fake' attempt at cleaning a car engine with clean hands.

Some online comments read, "I have never seen a cleaner engine bay, why it looks like a prop, surely not. Why is he changing an air filter that has never been used?" and "They edited out the part where he poured brake fluid into the radiator and hooked the car battery to the master cylinder."

A person also stated, "So, the party that pushes green energy, EV’s “no fracking or drilling” wants us to believe the Walz repairs his own classic vehicle and drives himself around in a gas guzzling V8," whereas one mentioned, "The best way to check if a car is maintained properly is to look at the oil, not the air cleaner as Tim claims."

A user also wrote, "Walz was tinkering with the cruise control and ended up with an air filter?" while one commented, "Walz isn’t any semblance of working class. Calls the majority of the state rocks and cows."
