MKH takes issue with JD Vance ‘sh*t post,’ presents flipped script: ‘Gov. Walz f*cked a traffic cone’

August 7, 2024 | | Print Article

The party for “decency on the ballot” had a funny way of showing it during Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s campaign debut that left one commentator fighting fire — with traffic cones.

After corporate media spun out a narrative that the leftist executive had a “folksy demeanor,” he hadn’t even completed his first appearance alongside Vice President Kamala Harris before he’d burst that bubble. Joining her in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for their premiere campaign event, Walz took aim at his running mate rival, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, with a nod to a debunked story about furniture intimacy.

In the midst of trashing the lawmaker and bestselling author’s success story as somehow unattainable for “regular people in the heartland,” the governor asserted, “I can’t wait to debate the guy. That is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up. See what I did there?”

Bristling at both Walz’s continuation of the “sleazy” claim and the media’s choice to amplify the remark while attempting to dig at the GOP for whataboutism, Mary Katharine Ham launched a counterattack as she wrote on X, “Slandering someone based on a sh*tpost is indeed propagating misinformation and really bad behavior and it would be a ‘this is very bad’ story instead of a ‘Republicans are complaining’ story if I made a concerted effort to go on TV and imply Gov. Walz f*cked a traffic cone.”

“Yes, yes, I know, you’re a prude who can’t take a joke if you point out that telling lies about a public figure f*cking an inanimate object is bad and juvenile. And it’s such a fun trick [because] the public figure can’t defend against it without elevating it and debasing themselves!” she continued before adding, “All the misinformation reporters can go f*ck traffic cones.”

The take was hardly all the commentator had to say about the effort to drag Vance’s image for the clapping seals who’d shown up to support the Harris-Walz campaign.

In an earlier reaction to the clip of the governor’s crass joke, Ham struck a blow over how out of sync with average voters the remark was as she snarked, “I see we are extremely online and proud of it.”

Likewise, she fired off over Walz claiming, “In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves, there’s a golden rule, mind your own damn business.”

Bringing up one of the slew of contemptible policies from his administration, Ham reacted to the smug claim, “Is there a thing that exists that could more directly refute this claim than ‘started a snitch line for people to report their neighbor’s gatherings and church groups to the government for Covid restriction violations,’ [because] that’s what he did.”

Whether or not the traffic cone story would pick up any traction of its own remained unknown, but social media users were all for it along with putting Walz and corporate media in check.
