Failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is upping the ante with his attacks against President Donald Trump and Republicans.
In a speech that laid bare the escalating hostility of today’s Democratic Party, Walz, the governor of Minnesota, urged the Left to “bully the sh*t out” of Trump.
He called on fellow Democrats to “be a little meaner” in their efforts to take on Trump and his supporters.
Speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Convention on Saturday, Walz used his keynote address not to present a positive vision for America.
Instead, he urged his party to go on the offensive.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner, a little bit more fierce,” Walz declared to the audience.
“We have to ferociously push back on this.”
Walz, a former schoolteacher, then compared President Trump to a bully.
He told the crowd of Democrats:
“When it’s an adult like Donald Trump, you bully the sh*t out of him back…
“This is a… cruel man,” he claimed.
The governor doubled down on left-wing talking points.
He labeled Trump a “wannabe dictator” and “the existential threat that we knew was coming.”
His speech was filled with the kind of rhetoric many conservatives say has become common among Democrats—dehumanizing, divisive, and obsessed with tearing down the opposition rather than offering solutions.
Walz even praised his party’s “guts” in fighting against what he called “bullies and greed.”
Yet, he offered little substance about how Democrats would address issues Americans actually care about—like inflation, the border crisis, or crime.
WATCH:
Walz appeared alongside Maryland Governor Wes Moore at the event.
Both Democrat governors are seen as possible 2028 presidential hopefuls.
Moore, in his own remarks, took jabs at Trump as well.
He claimed the president “doesn’t need a study to dismantle democracy” or a “white paper to start arbitrary trade wars.”
Though Moore insisted he wouldn’t run for president in 2028, both he and Walz used the South Carolina stage to test out campaign themes and woo activists in the early-voting state.
Walz is still undecided on a 2026 gubernatorial run or a 2028 presidential bid.
However, his messaging Saturday left little doubt that he’s positioning himself as one of the party’s most combative anti-Trump voices.
