Tim Walz calls Donald Trump’s visit to McDonald’s disrespectful pandering

Tim Walz responded Monday to Donald Trump’s viral day at McDonald’s, calling the campaign an end to disrespectful pandering.

Trump stopped at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania over the weekend, where he spent time serving customers and taking photos that have since gone viral. During a performance op The viewWalz filmed the event and called it disrespectful to the middle class.

“Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class,” Walz said. “We understand she actually worked at a McDonald’s. She wasn’t going to pander to the McDonald’s employees by standing there in your red tie and taking a picture.”

Walz continued, “His policies are the policies that undermine the very workers who were in that McDonald’s, whether it’s about homeownership, health care, reproductive rights or the cost of products. So there is still more work to be done.”

He ended by saying, “To be clear, nothing Donald Trump is proposing will do anything for the middle class.”

Walz appeared The Daily Show with Monday’s host Jon Stewart later that evening, where he discussed many of the same issues and talked about the undecided voters he encountered during his campaign.

“People are still talking. And I know it’s hard to imagine that there are a lot of people who are still deciding what to do,” Walz said. “Many of them have never crossed that line. And you can say it about Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney and some of those who did show some courage to cross.

He later added, “These are people who want to find a reason not to vote for Donald Trump. We have to give that to them.”
