The post Tim Walz's Very Bad Answer on Social Media Censorship appeared first on Reason.com.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) is trying to put his shaky debate performance behind him with a media blitz to close out the final month of the 2024 campaign. Walz will visit Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Washington,

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz admitted during the debate that he had previously misspoken in 2014 when he said he was in mainland China between April and June 1989, during the Tiananmen Square protests.

With Gov. Tim Walz‘s (D-MN) wobbly performance during his one and only debate and former President Donald Trump regaining ground in Pennsylvania, Vice President Kamala Harris could come to regret not choosing Gov.

But Walz said Wednesday during a stop on his bus tour around Pennsylvania that he was "talking about meeting people where there are school shooters," and highlighted the relationships he has made victims of mass shootings, including those who survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.

Tim Walz rarely references his faith on the campaign trail. He acknowledged as much Tuesday during the vice presidential debate. “I don’t talk about my faith a lot,” Walz said. But he went on to use a Bible verse to explain his beliefs about immigration and his support for a bill that aimed to solve ongoing issues at the southern border.

The Minnesota governor has brought his charm to the campaign trail, but his debate was uneven and he has so far been scarcely seen on national television. His team says that may be changing.

The 2024 vice presidential nominees, Republican JD Vance​​ and Democrat Tim Walz,​​ sparred​ over a wide range of issues in the VP debate, hosted by CBS News.

On X, after Swifties for Kamala clocked the friendship bracelets, writing, “ [Tim Walz] wore friendship bracelets on the debate stage and we're trying to play it cool with the best of them,” Walz himself quote-tweeted the post.

A CNN/SSRS poll found that around the same amount of debate-watchers felt Vance or Walz “won,” and that they felt more favorable about both after the debate, but that the event mostly did not impact people’s choices of who to vote for.

Gwen Walz and Usha Vance have become fixtures on the campaign trail as their husbands compete for the vice presidency.
