Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson during his first trip to the Tar Heel state since CNN reported Robinson made homophobic, racist and antisemitic comments on a pornographic website, and sought to tie Trump and Robinson together while attacking Republicans for advocating for abortion restrictions.
Walz falsely said Trump “brags about” wanting to give states the right to monitor pregnant women while labeling Republican-backed abortion restrictions as “extreme abortion bans.” Walz then made a tongue-in-cheek jab at Robinson as he criticized Robinson’s past comments on abortion.
“You got a real peach of a guy here who’s running for governor on the other side,” Walz said. “America doesn’t hold you to that guy, trust me, because that guy is never going to be the governor of North Carolina. But this guy is running for governor of this great state, and says, ‘Once you’re pregnant, it’s not your body anymore.’ The hell it’s not. The hell it’s not.”
“These guys are oddly and obsessively focused on what you’re doing in your bedroom,” he said. “That is not right.”
Walz praised Harris’ testy sit-down interview with Fox News, joking after her appearance and his multiple appearances on “Fox News Sunday” this month that they’re becoming regulars on the network.
