Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 Presidential Election, faced widespread ridicule following a video of him struggling to load his shotgun during a pheasant hunt.
The incident, which was meant to showcase Walz as a gun-friendly candidate, backfired spectacularly, drawing mockery from conservatives and hunters alike.
The video, which quickly spread across social media, shows Walz fumbling with a Beretta A400 Xcel Sporting semi-automatic shotgun (a very relatable $2000.00+ shotgun), sparking questions about his authenticity as a hunter. Although Walz has claimed to be a lifelong bird hunter, his awkward attempt to load the firearm has left many skeptical.
As conservative commentator John Cardillo put it, “Tim Walz claims that he’s a lifelong bird hunter, but this clearly proves he has no idea how to load or charge a semi-automatic shotgun.”
