How Tim Walz’s dumb taco joke broke MAGA brains

[Guno צְבִי]

More recently, they lost their minds about Walz making a completely forgettable quip — calling it a joke gives it way too much credit — about how he eats “white guy tacos.” What’s a white guy taco to Walz? “Pretty much ground beef and cheese.” Then he mumbled another throwaway line about black pepper being as hot a spice as his region prefers.


These quotes are from a campaign video where Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris do their best attempt at a buddy banter clip — the kind of humanizing campaign advertising that’s so normal it’s hardly ever noticed. Since at least the dawn of television, presidential and vice presidential candidates have tried to sell themselves as just regular people, not highly ambitious politicians working together to secure the most powerful position in the world. That’s all this video was. An advertisement.

But to some of the toughest-talking, eff-your-feelings MAGA pundits, it was a hate crime. It was proof that Walz is a fraud and possibly a traitor to his race.

It’s grievance culture of the right-wing variety. And it’s very weird.

It was a slur not humor.

Also there is about a 98% chance that he was lying again, that this not actually how he tends to eat tacos.

Black pepper --> that's pretty funny!

Quit making stats up. it appears he does not like hot sauce. Why does that matter to you? Black people do mostly like hot sauce on chicken and tacos. There is no deeper meaning than that.

And if trump had done it you would STILL be shitting through your mouth about what a racist he is. Why do you think everyone is as stupid as you?

Of course. Hillary's use of hot sauce was seen as pandering to blacks when she was running. That was not so long ago. Even a Trumpy like you should be able to accept that.
