Tim Walz Says ‘Oops’ on Refusing to Break From Biden on Gaza

With the latest draconian measures from the Trump Admin, former VP candidate Tim Walz has some regrets

“Should there have been a more definitive break with the [Biden] administration on Gaza specifically?” asks MSNBC’s Chris Hayes to former VP candidate Tim Walz.

Many will remember the Harris campaign’s stance on this issue during the months leading up to the election: when Kamala Harris was asked by The View if she would have done anything differently than President Biden, her response was “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” This was at the same time that national polling showed that a majority of Americans, not just Democrats, opposed Biden’s funding and facilitation of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Months later, as the Trump Administration is kidnapping student protesters, hosting special visits for Netanyahu, allowing Israel to continue to destroy hospitals, and bombing civilians in Yemen, Tim Walz admits they mayyyyy have made a mistake.

He responds to Hayes’ question: “Well, I think we would have been clearer because a Harris administration wouldn't have us in the situation we are now. That wasn’t believed by a large number of people.”

Hmm, we wonder why.

Also in this week’s Thursday Throwdown: Rachel Maddow finally admits that Bernie was right about Democrats, Fox News’ Jesse Watters has the stupidest reason why he thinks Ábrego García is part of MS-13, a GOP Congressman thinks we should feel sorry for billionaires, and Biden makes a triumphantly racist return.
