Gavin Newsom laughs after Tim Walz claims he’s too masculine: ‘I’m not bulls**tting’
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota boldly argues that the real reason his political opponents focus so much on him is not because of bad policy, but because of his overwhelming masculinity.
The failed vice presidential candidate joined fellow Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to discuss the “toxicity” in masculinity. In a clip of a March episode of “This Is Gavin Newsom” that circulated on social media this week, the California Democrat argued that this “toxicity” needs to be disentangled from masculinity, while Walz proudly exclaimed that his masculinity was simply too much for his political rivals to handle.
‘I’m serious!’
“This notion of toxicity in masculinity needs to be separated,” Newsom said. “And I think it’s been conflated. And I think we’re going to have to work on that a little bit.”
Newsom began to describe the Democratic Party’s regression among demographics like young men. But before Newsom could prescribe an antidote to the Democrats’ loss with male voters, Walz chimed in to suggest that those who criticize him and some of his fellow male Democrats feel threatened by their masculinity.

“I think some of us scare them,” Walz replied. “I think I scare them a little bit. That’s why they spend so much time on me.”
Newsom erupted in laughter at the notion that Walz’s masculinity was alienating young men from the Democratic Party.
“No, I’m serious!” Walz said. “Because I can fix a truck, they know I’m not bulls**tting on this.”

“I’m not putting this in people’s grill,” Walz said. “My identity is not hunting. My identity is not football coaching. My identity is not, you know, a beard and a truck.”

Georgia Democrat indicted for alleged pandemic relief fraud
A Democratic Georgia state politician was indicted by a grand jury for alleged fraud related to pandemic unemployment she received.
State Representative Sharon Henderson is accused of fraudulently receiving nearly $18K after claiming to have worked as a substitute teacher in 2020. Prosecutors said she had not worked the job since 2018.
‘Politicians who violate the public trust and steal from the needy to enrich themselves will be held accountable.’
She allegedly claimed to have lost wages as a substitute at Henry County Schools because of the pandemic closures and submitted eight weekly certifications that were false.
The Democrat was arrested Monday.
Henderson is charged with two counts of theft of government funds and 10 counts of making false statements.
“It is shocking that a public official would allegedly lie to profit from an emergency program designed to help suffering community members,” reads a statement from U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Politicians who violate the public trust and steal from the needy to enrich themselves will be held accountable.”
She is expected to plead not guilty.
Henderson’s profile at the Georgia legislature website said she previously served as a pastor of the New Bethel Love Center in Summerville, South Carolina. She is married to a pastor, and they have four children.

“Sharon Henderson allegedly chose greed over compassion by fraudulently obtaining funds meant to help those in need, some in her own Georgia House district,” said FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Paul Brown.
Henderson was first elected to the legislature in 2020 and was re-elected twice since then.

Walz melts down after Trump calls him the R-word
After sitting back as billions of taxpayer dollars from his state went to Somalia, President Trump called Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz the forbidden R-word — and Walz is now fuming. But Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is looking at the cold hard facts regarding Trump’s brutal statement.
“I also have a problem with a guy who, you know, surrounds himself with people who call the president a Nazi. I don’t know which one’s worse — Nazi or retarded,” Glenn says on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“Yeah, Nazis were really bad. That’s actually a pretty serious accusation. Fascist is another one, pretty serious accusation. … That is exactly the reason he was on the ticket, is because he was name-calling other people and calling them weird,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere agrees.
“It’s his only qualification, outside of he’s, you know, massively inept and corrupt and all the other things that would, of course, qualify him to be on a Democratic ticket. But outside of that, the only reason he stood out from all the other loser Democrats was that he said the word ‘weird’ on TV once,” he continues.
But perhaps Walz’s most egregious political fault is his inability to look at the Somalian population in Minnesota with a discerning eye — especially after the mass fraud that went on directly under his nose.
And instead of taking on the fraud that he let happen, he’s focusing on the “danger” of President Trump’s name-calling.
“This creates danger. And I’ll tell you what, in my time on this, I’d never seen this before. People driving by my house and using the R-word in front of people. This is shameful. And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official, say, ‘You’re right, that’s shameful. He should not say it,’” Walz said.
“So, look, I’m worried. We know how these things go. They start with taunts. They turn to violence. So, deeply concerned,” he added.
“Founder of the taunt of ‘weird’ thinks that that taunt could lead to violence. That’s so strange,” Stu comments, laughing.
Meanwhile, the “Nazi” and “fascist” name-calling directed at President Trump and Charlie Kirk has resulted in very real violence — which unfortunately ended in the passing of Kirk this September.
“But it’s the R-word being yelled at Tim Walz when … he waddles out to get his mail — that’s the thing we’re supposed to be concerned about,” Stu says.
