Greg Gutfeld Airs Scathing Critique of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

Television host Greg Gutfeld dedicated a recent broadcast segment to a comprehensive and sharply critical analysis of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, assailing his leadership, policy record, and personal history through a series of sarcastic remarks and pointed accusations. The on-air commentary, structured as a one-sided “roast,” methodically deconstructed Walz’s performance on issues ranging from the economy and public safety to his response during the pandemic, with Gutfeld attributing Minnesota’s challenges directly to the governor’s actions.

An Unsparing On-Air Takedown

The segment commenced with Gutfeld establishing a tone of relentless mockery. He referred to Governor Walz as the “tampon king” and commented on his perceived “emotional volatility.” Gutfeld referenced a town hall appearance Walz made with Beto O’Rourke, stating, “the estrogen levels were enough to give Chuck Norris menstrual cramps.”

When addressing Walz’s statements on diversity, in which the governor said, “Our strength is our diversity. We’ve been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants…,” Gutfeld retorted, “There’s only one explanation for Tim spewing nonsense like this. Time of the month.” Throughout the segment, Gutfeld framed Walz as an ineffectual leader, describing him as “a governor who looks like he’s still searching for his car keys.” He warned viewers, “Don’t blink. This roast burns hotter than Walz’s frozen approval numbers, and every second hits harder than the last.”

Criticisms of Personal History and Character

Gutfeld expanded his critique beyond policy to include Walz’s personal background, focusing on his military service. He accused the governor of embellishing his record, stating, “Walz continues to be criticized for embellishing his rank in service after it came out over the weekend. He once claimed to be an official bikini inspector.”

Furthermore, Gutfeld cited an allegation from Walz’s direct superior in the National Guard, who Gutfeld said accused the governor of resigning to avoid deployment to Iraq. He described Walz’s supposed reaction to this claim: “When reached for comment, Walz yelled, ‘Hey, look over there,’ and then ran away.” Gutfeld suggested these revelations could help Walz “win the coward vote.”

The host employed numerous metaphors to characterize Walz’s leadership, at one point declaring, “If political leadership were a buffet, Walz would be the lukewarm mashed potatoes nobody asked for, but somehow ended up on the plate anyway. Tasteless, unnecessary, and yet still sitting there.” Gutfeld described his own sarcasm as being “like a chainsaw in a fireworks shop” and characterized Walz’s governing as “performance art, and not the good kind. More like fingerpainting with spoiled mayonnaise. Messy and unforgettable.”

Dissection of Policy and Governance

Gutfeld presented a grim assessment of Walz’s stewardship of Minnesota, comparing his efforts to “a substitute teacher trying to wrangle a classroom full of caffeinated raccoons.” He added, “He speaks like a man who skimmed ‘Leadership for Dummies’ and decided that was his entire playbook.” Gutfeld argued that under Walz, the state had transformed from “the land of 10,000 lakes into the land of 10,000 disasters.”

On economic matters, Gutfeld was particularly severe. “Tim Walz looked at inflation, unemployment, and businesses fleeing the state and thought the solution was more taxes,” he stated. “Tax the air, tax the smiles, maybe even tax the thought of moving to South Dakota.” He claimed businesses were leaving the state in droves, remarking, “Companies are escaping Minnesota like it’s a haunted house built from climate mandates and social justice slideshows.” Gutfeld posed the rhetorical question, “How do you make California look like a capitalist paradise in comparison?” He concluded that under Walz, “the only things growing are government paperwork and the pounding headaches of the middle class.”

Public safety and education were also targeted. Gutfeld asserted, “Tim Walz treats public safety the way a toddler treats matches. Optimistic, clueless, and destined to end in sirens.” He summarized the governor’s strategy as, “Blame society, hold hands, and hope criminals are inspired by interpretive dance.” Regarding the education system, Gutfeld claimed Minnesota’s classrooms had become “workshops of woke word salad,” where students are “scored on spotting microaggressions and building safe spaces from popsicle sticks” instead of focusing on math and science.

Alleged Hypocrisy and Pandemic Response

The host accused Walz of hypocrisy, referencing a supposed drunk driving incident and the creation of a “snitch line” for citizens while, according to Gutfeld, lying about his own actions. “He doesn’t even own up to it,” Gutfeld said, before making further personal accusations.

Walz’s pandemic-era policies were described as an audition for “America’s Next Top Authoritarian.” Gutfeld criticized the governor for shutting down businesses and churches while permitting protests, suggesting the virus had a “political filter.” When Minnesota reported a budget surplus, Gutfeld mocked the governor’s spending decisions. “Instead of giving it back to the taxpayers, he blew it like Monopoly money at a government garage sale,” Gutfeld said, citing expenditures on “more bureaucracy, more diversity consultants, and maybe even a taxpayer-funded mural of himself staring off into the distance.”

Concluding Metaphors

In his closing remarks, Gutfeld synthesized his critique with a final set of analogies. He referred to Walz’s intense media appearances, comparing his expression to how “humans widening their eyes to convey danger.” This led to Gutfeld crowning Walz the “IKEA governor,” explaining: “He comes in a box. Half the screws are missing. Assembly required. And by the end, you’re crying over a wobbly mess, wondering if you’ve built a metaphor.”

Gutfeld also ridiculed a proposed multi-million dollar bullet train, which he said “might be ready about the same time dinosaurs return,” while Minnesota’s roads devolved into “a post-apocalyptic Mario Kart course.” He ultimately summarized Walz’s leadership as “oatmeal flavored governance”—bland, soggy, and underwhelming. The segment concluded with the assertion that Walz was a governor “reading expired IKEA instructions. Confused, underwhelming, and missing half the screws.”
