Walz asks crowd to picture Trump making a McFlurry in first solo speech

Trump ‘couldn’t run that damn McFlurry machine if it cost him anything!’ Walz quipped

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday hit out at Donald Trump’s anti-union record as he promised that he and Vice President Kamala Harris would take the pro-labor agenda that made his state one of the best places to work and bring it to the rest of the country.

Speaking to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union in Los Angeles, the Democratic vice presidential nominee — the first labor union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan ran as a Republican in the 1980 election — slammed Trump’s record while touting Harris’s background as a former fast food worker

“You know Vice President Harris grew up in a middle class family, picked up shifts at that McDonald’s as a student. I keep asking this to make a contrast here, can you simply picture Donald Trump working at a McDonald’s, trying to make a McFlurry or something?” he said.

Now here me out: Schiff

haha point taken but I confess I have a soft-spot for Schiff which may be an unpopular opinion. I think he's one of the best rhetoricians in the party up there with Buttigieg. I gained a lot of respect for his leading one of the impeachment hearings and his remarks on the January 6th hearings. Also how he was one of the few Senators to publicly call for Biden to step down.

Edit: Sorry, self-correction: Schiff is currently a US House Rep (but pretty high in seniority) but running for a CA US Senate seat.

During the impeachment, I wished he was my rep instead of one of the ones proving that you can indeed barge into a scif and hold a pizza party then not go to jail immediately, you just have to be important enough.
