Walz hints at making AOC speaker of the house

[not Network Dude]

Well, it's kind of hard to be clear when the Indian Tabloid cuts off the bold part of the quote.


There's enough ambiguity of context to the full quote, read that as "When we take control of the House we'll put you in a position to head a committee on something."

If you wanna read into it as anything, read into it as Tim Walz trying to secure the GenZ Deerborn sympathetic vote.

I honestly don't think enough of the left would vote for her. I can think of 25 democrats in the 118th congress that may not favor her. Republicans would most certainly vote for their own. So... maybe a Misinformation/Media/AI committee at most.

“We’re going to win the election and we’re going to put a gavel in your hand in the House,” the governor, a former House member, told AOC during the livestream. He added the gavel may be “in that committee” while discussing AOC’s role in the House AI task force.
“I think for your listeners to understand, when you’re in the House of Representatives, whoever has the gavel, that’s pretty much everything, makes the decision,” Gov. Walz added. “So if you want folks who actually have a to-do list and want to get it done, stay engaged.”

I figured the source article would trigger some.

I'm not saying this is what [edit] Tim meant, but this is what he said.  This part kind of ties the idea he meant speaker to the quote:
"I think for your listeners to understand, when you’re in the House of Representatives, whoever has the gavel, that’s pretty much everything, makes the decision"
So he said "we’re going to put a gavel in your hand in the House" and followed it up with that one.  Maybe Timmy just sucks really bad at making a point.  Maybe he was lying again.  Or maybe all his mis-speaking is my fault.  Not sure.  But when things like this happen, to rush over to the "those Trump folks take everything out of context" is disingenuous at best.  And the thought of AOC as speaker is a nutty one.  But then defund the police is another idea these folks had.  So nutty seems to be in their wheelhouse.
