Trump trashes far-left VP pick Tim Walz, says Dem ticket will turn America ‘communist immediately’

Former President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris and her VP pick, Tim Walz, will take the United States straight into communism if they win the 2024 election.

“There’s never been a ticket like this,” Trump, 78, said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” after Harris chose the Minnesota governor as her running mate.

The Republican presidential candidate trashed his Democratic rivals just hours after Elon Musk, too, slammed Harris — calling her “quite literally a communist” in a post on X.

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump took aim at Walz — a darling of the far left – and insisted he was “thrilled” the Democrats had picked a progressive candidate to complete their presidential ticket.

“If you look at his record — with no walls, no security, let everybody in — he’s worse than they are. You know, nobody knew how radical left she was, but he’s a smarter version of her,” Trump added, referring to Harris.

“If you want to know the truth, he’s probably about the same as Bernie Sanders. He’s probably more so than Bernie Sanders. She is more so than Bernie Sanders. That’s got to be your guide, Bernie Sanders, and that’s not a great guide.”

Trump doubled down as he ripped the Midwestern governor’s far-left record dealing with his home state’s stances on everything ranging from migrants and transgender issues to COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter riots.

“This is a shocking pick, and I think it’s very insulting to Jewish people, and I think it’s very insulting to people who want security,” he continued.

“I think it’s very insulting to anything having to do with making America great again.”
