Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was “thrilled” that Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
“He’s a very, very liberal man and he’s a shocking pick. And I’m thrilled. I could not be more thrilled,” Trump said on Fox News.
“You know, nobody knew how radical left she was, but he’s a smarter version of her, if you want to know the truth.”
“He’s probably about the same as Bernie Sanders. He’s probably more so than Bernie Sanders.”
Trump continued: “There’s never been a ticket like this. This is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner.”
The Republican presidential candidate also suggested that Harris’ selection of Walz over favorite Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was “very insulting to Jewish people.”
“I’m no big fan of Josh Shapiro. I know the state very well. I think we’re leading pretty good in that state. But I would have said [Shapiro] would have been a better choice.”
