'It's Walz, Baby, Let's Go!' Anti-Semites Rejoice After Harris Snubs Jew

Leading anti-Semites rejoiced on Tuesday after Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz, the left-wing governor of Minnesota, to be her running mate. Many were relieved that Harris did not pick Josh Shapiro, the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania, whose "views" on issues such as Israel's right to exist had prompted "concern" among some Democratic voters, according to ABC News.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), winner of the 2019 Anti-Semite of the Year award, posted a celebratory emoji alongside a photo of herself with Walz, whom she publicly endorsed days prior to the announcement. Omar somewhat ominously suggested that, unlike Shapiro, her state's governor had the "qualities" necessary "to balance out the ticket."

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), another radical left-wing member of the "Squad," was also thrilled that Harris picked a non-Jew to be her running mate. "It's Walz, baby, let's go!" he shouted in a video posted on social media. "Tim Walz in the building!" Bowman, who is best known for writing a poem suggesting 9/11 was an inside job, this year received support for his failed primary campaign from pro-Hamas activists who blamed Israel for the terrorist group's Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Mehdi Hasan, the former MSNBC host whose show was canceled after he repeatedly disparaged Israel in the wake of the Hamas attack, argued the "great decision" to pick Walz over Shapiro showed that Democrats were "taking the base seriously," presumably in reference to the anti-Semitic protesters who praised the Oct. 7 terrorist attack as an act of "anti-colonial resistance."

Keith Ellison, the former congressman who now serves as attorney general of Minnesota, said there was "no better choice" than Walz. Ellison has palled around with prominent anti-Semites such as Jeremy Corbyn, the former British Labour Party leader, and Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam founder who has compared Jews to "termites." Days after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, Ellison's chief of staff promoted a rally in support of the terrorists.

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah was pumped. "TEAM WALZ!!!!!!!!!!" she wrote on social media. "ITS [sic] OUR TIME!!" Attiah, who wrote that she would "never forgive" President Joe Biden for defending Israel's right to exist, said the VP choice showed that Harris and other Democrats were "finally paying attention to the internet and social media," where Walz "has been the favorite of the younger people" who hate Israel as much as she does.

Walz himself said it was the "honor of a lifetime" to be chosen as the VP candidate. Walz has appeared at events sponsored by the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a controversial group whose executive director was condemned by the Biden administration earlier this year for saying he was "happy to see" the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists in Israel.
