DeSantis slams Walz over claims of supporting freedom despite past anti-freedom policies
08/14/2024 / By Laura Harris
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has come out to publicly criticize the Democratic Party’s presumptive vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for mocking Republicans, and for his anti-freedom policies implemented during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
During a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Aug. 6, Walz, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee, called Republicans “hypocrites” for their stance on abortion while promoting “freedom.”
In response, DeSantis referred to Walz as a “shyster” during an interview on Fox News. He called out the inconsistencies in his political messaging, especially his hypocrisy regarding personal freedom and his support for COVID-19 policies.

“I watched his speech. This guy is a shyster,” he said. “I mean, he’s saying these things – he claims, ‘Oh, you know, leave your neighbors alone. It’s none of your business.’ This is the guy that set up a snitch line during COVID for neighbors to inform if somebody was violating his draconian COVID restrictions.”
“He claims people should be able to make whatever health care decision they want. Yet he, as governor, mandated the experimental COVID-19 jab,” the governor continued. “And then he says, ‘Republicans are weird,’ yet this is the governor who put tampons in the boys’ bathroom throughout Minnesota schools. Give me a break.”
DeSantis also criticized Walz for his handling of civil unrest in Minnesota.
“The Minnesota experience, where cities are burning down, and Gov. Walz was derelict in his duties to sit back and allow those cities to burn,” DeSantis added. “Kamala Harris was egging it on, and she even raised money to bail people out. So yes, Harris-Waltz ticket is Make America Burn Again.”
DeSantis advised the Trump campaign to counter Democrats’ attempts to portray Walz as a moderate by “getting out there and speaking the truth.”
Walz faces intensive and renewed criticism for his COVID-19 policies as Minnesota governor
This is not the first time Walz has faced criticism since Harris named him as her running mate.
Earlier this August, Walz’s controversial “Kids Deserve a Shot” vaccine incentive program from January 2022 reemerged and got the public’s attention. The program, specifically for all children ages five to 11, offered $200 Visa gift cards to all Minnesota families who would get their kids fully vaccinated with COVID-19 in January and February. The program also included a vaccine lottery wherein Minnesota families who got their kids ages five to 11 vaccinated at that time were eligible to participate in a lottery for a $100,000 college scholarship.
And just like the “snitch line,” the incentive program also faced intensive and renewed criticism from various quarters.
“Tim Walz poisoned low-income families who desperately needed money and gave their children, who had zero risk of Covid, an experimental vaccine,” Prominent commentator Mike Cernovich posted on X. “This is an evil man.”
Similarly, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden accused Walz of bribing families to administer potentially dangerous substances to their children. The libertarian organization Being Libertarian also criticized the program: “Tim Walz bribed parents to inject their children with dangerous, experimental, unnecessary chemicals for $200.”
Conservative activist Laura Loomer also joined the chorus, questioning the potential health impacts on vaccinated children.
“How many kids now have myocarditis thanks to @KamalaHarris’s VP pick?” Loomer asked.
