Steve Scalise's Hilarious Reply to Tim Walz's Slimy Attack on His Medical Condition

We are so lucky that Donald Trump and JD Vance defeated Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

 

In addition to all the reasons that Kamala Harris was awful, Minnesota Gov. Walz made it all worse with what a joke he was as a candidate. If you become known for the ridiculous things you say rather than for doing anything consequentially good, that could be a problem. 

Walz did become known for something consequential, something consequentially bad. He dropped out of running again for governor after the Minnesota fraud scandal exploded. He helped demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and incited radicals in his state against law enforcement. 

Can we forget this moment when he spoke wishfully about the possibility of President Trump's death? 

Then, Walz had a post on Thursday that, like the Trump post, reminded us that he isn't just a bad politician, he is also a horrible human being. 

House Majority Leader, Republican Rep. Steve Scalise (LA-01), 

 

and House Majority Whip, Republican Rep. Tom Emmer (MN-06),

 

 posted a picture humorously joking about how they both had to wear medical boots on their legs. 

Standing in solidarity with @GOPMajorityWhip Emmer! The House Leadership Boot Caucus is officially up and running.

Normal human beings would look at that and wish them a swift recovery. Because that's what you do. Or maybe you just say nothing. 

Then there's Tim Walz, who is not a normal human being and says something slimy to injured people.

"The House Boot Licker Caucus is officially up and running," he said.

 That doesn't even make any sense - are they licking their own boots? But that's Walz - it doesn't make any sense.

 Imagine, too, the audacity of Tim Walz calling anyone a bootlicker. And imagine not having the sense that God gave a gnat to say that to Scalise. Scalise sometimes wears a medical boot because he was severely injured when he was shot nine years ago by a rabid progressive influenced by Democrat incitement against Republicans on healthcare. 

But Scalise had the perfect response. 

Hey Tim, congratulations on retirement! Looks like you’re still bitter that Tom and I shut the door on the billions that were going to your “Learing” centers!!

That's a brilliant retort recalling one of the symbols of the childcare scandal story, the sign of the "Quality Learing Center" that was missing an "n." And a nice reminder that soon, Walz will be walking off into the political sunset, hopefully never to hold office again.
